Newington is a suburban town located in eastern Fairfax County, Virginia, near Lorton and Springfield. As of 2010, its population was about 21,000. Newington is a popular choice for families of all ages because of its short distance (16 miles) to Washington, D.C. and other population centers throughout the Northern Virginia area.

Because of the close proximity to Washington, D.C. and the suburban atmosphere of the community, you will find many shopping opportunities, dining opportunities and entertainment and recreation venues to choose from, including Landmark Mall in Alexandria and top-rated Potomac Mills Mall In Woodbridge.
