64 addresses on Cobble Pond Way, Dunn Meadow Road and Water Falls Lane, recorded in two sections in 1996 and 2002.
Start with the name, because the shortened version people type is not the one on the plat. There is no recorded subdivision called “Estates at Great Falls.” The recorded name is Estates at Great Falls Crossing, and searching without the last word pulls in listings from Great Falls proper that have nothing to do with this community. Sixty-four addresses sit on three streets, recorded in two sections six years apart, with a Vienna 22182 mailing address and a school assignment that belongs to Reston.
Section I was recorded in 1996 at Deed Book 9856, page 1525, and Section II in 2002 at Deed Book 12737, page 863. The six-year gap is the sort of thing worth asking about on a tour, because a subdivision finished in two passes usually shows it: the later houses were designed and permitted against a different set of market expectations than the first ones, even where the developer and the covenants stayed the same. Ask which section a house falls in and read the plat for that section rather than a marketing site’s summary of the community as a whole.
The community is Cobble Pond Way, Dunn Meadow Road and Water Falls Lane — that is the whole of it, which makes it a genuinely small search to run. The zoning is R-1, Fairfax County’s one-dwelling-unit-per-acre district, and the parcels are in unincorporated Fairfax County rather than inside any town. The rulebook is therefore the county zoning ordinance and the county permit process: no second review at a town counter, no town real estate tax on top of the county bill, and none of the Town of Vienna provisions on accessory living units, tree canopy or lot coverage that govern addresses a few miles east.
As of August 2026 the community is served by Forest Edge Elementary School, Langston Hughes Middle School and South Lakes High School — the Reston pyramid, despite the Vienna mailing address. Buyers who filter by the ZIP code and assume the Madison pyramid follows will misread this neighborhood in both directions. The Fairfax County School Board approved a comprehensive boundary plan on January 22, 2026 that phases in grade by grade beginning with the 2026-27 school year, so the boundary locator is the authority here, not the mailing address and not any published list.
Aggregator sites publish amenity and dues figures for this community that we could not trace to a primary source, so we do not repeat them. That is not a hint that something is wrong; it means nobody has verified the numbers and a broker should not launder someone else’s guess into a fact. What governs is the recorded declaration and the Virginia resale disclosure packet: the association’s current assessment, what it covers, the reserve study and any pending special assessment all live there. Ask for the packet early, and treat any number you find online about this community — including on the listing itself — as unconfirmed until the documents say it.
Estates at Great Falls Crossing sits within Vienna — that guide covers the zoning, permitting and site constraints that apply across the wider area.
Artur can confirm what applies to a specific address here — lot, zoning, association documents and school assignment — before you write an offer.
