About

Pohick

Pohick, located between Burke Lake Park and Occoquan Regional Park, is a wooded and equestrian Fairfax Station neighborhood with large-lot homes and winding two-lane roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ox Road (VA-123) corridor near the Pohick Road junction, where trailheads, farm stands, and low-key local services set a rural-suburban rhythm. Architectural styles lean toward custom Colonials and contemporary builds tucked behind long driveways and mature trees. Outdoor time centers on lake loops, bridle paths, and the Occoquan Reservoir shoreline. Workday routines often orbit the park-and-ride nodes and commuter routes, while weekends point toward waterfront dining and historic riverfront streets. Community touchstones include Workhouse Arts Center, The Secret Garden Café, and The Harbour Grille.
