Each neighborhood's name appears frequently in streets within its boundaries (e.g. the Woods neighborhood contains Wooden Hawk Lane, Walnut Wood Court, etc.).

• The Landings is west of Roberts Parkway, and exists on both sides of Burke Centre Parkway. It is constrained by Fairfax County Parkway (SR 286) to the south and The Oaks to the west.
