Three Collective is far more than just four walls and a roof—it’s an entire reimagining of what the modern community can be. Founded with a vision of helping its residents connect and thrive, 3co in Church Fall, VA, sets itself apart from any other community as a flexidential hub of productivity and creativity. From impressive community amenities to spacious, state-of-the-art apartments with modern features, it’s more than a home base – it’s a launching pad where great ideas are born and raised.
Here are 7 ways Three Collective is reinventing the way people live, work, and play.
What Makes Three Collective Stand Out
- Flexidential Spaces: Three Collective is a place where ideas are born, and a sense of community thrives. With a unique combination of residential and functional spaces, residents can seamlessly live, create, work, connect, and play in one modern apartment. If you’re a lifestyle-oriented family or individual looking for a hub that is built around your craft and passions, 3co is the place to be.
- Innovative Amenities: Three Collective features a variety of amenities that are purpose-built to facilitate collaboration and inspire productivity. From the VR lounge to the coworking spaces, demo kitchen, library, makerspace, and so much more, residents have access to a variety of spaces and tools that can help them develop their crafts and reach their professional objectives.
- Networking: Located in Falls Church, one of Virginia’s most diverse towns, Three Collective is attracting a broad range of professionals from different fields, backgrounds, and industries. This unique variety makes 3co an ideal hub for connecting with, learning from, and being inspired by a boundless amount of human experiences and talents.
- Community Events: Workshops, seminars, lectures, and social gatherings are just some of the events you could take part in (or host) at Three Collective. Led and organized by both residents and local personalities, these events provide residents with an opportunity to learn from industry experts and connect with other professionals in the area.
- Pet-Friendly Living: At Three Collective, they know that family isn’t just limited to your kin. Our furry best friends are just as integral a part of our lives as our human ones. That’s why they’ve created amenities like pet spas and The Barking Lot, an indoor pet agility park where four-legged friends can run, jump, play, and socialize in comfort and safety.
- Location, Location, Location: Located in Falls Church, just a stone’s throw from the nation’s capital, Three Collective brings you the best of easygoing small-town life without sacrificing big-city amenities. Just a short 7-minute drive or metro ride into D.C., 3co is perfectly situated for those who enjoy metropolitan opportunities and entertainment but look forward to peace and quiet at the end of the day. Learn more about everything Falls Church has to offer here.
- Set up Shop: Three Collective was built with creators and entrepreneurs in mind. While many apartment communities and HOAs strictly prohibit running a business from a residential unit, 3co encourages it! Not only are there incredible community spaces for working from home, but the apartments at 3co are zoned for living and working, so you can feel comfortable using your apartment as your home office, too. Flexible floor plans perfectly accommodate multiple employee workspaces and provide a great place for client visits as well.
These reasons only scratch the surface of everything Three Collective has to offer. For the full scope of everything we’re bringing to help you live your best life, stop in for a visit or click here to learn more.

Nestled in a quiet suburb, just a short metro ride from the nation’s capital, lies a charming up-and-coming town whose emerging businesses, cultural offerings, and rich diversity have made it one of Virginia’s fastest growing cities—welcome to Falls Church.
Though home to only around 15,000 residents, what this hidden gem lacks in size it more than makes up for in amenities. From gourmet restaurants to historic centers, independent boutiques and endless outdoor recreation, Falls Church offers a lot more than you’d expect.
Whether you’re passing through or considering a new, more laid-back way of life, here are 5 things you don’t want to miss.
1. The State Theatre
It may not be a glitzy Broadway playhouse, but Falls Church’s iconic State Theater has held its own since its founding in 1936, hosting both local performers and world-class acts like Blondie alike. Though the State Theater has undergone some cosmetic changes through the decades, the original main stage and balcony have remained, paying homage to the performing arts and the region’s commitment to culture while bringing an air of vintage charm that theatergoers will instantly appreciate.
Stage your play, catch a touring concert, or just spend the afternoon at one of the many free open-air shows—and don’t forget to check out the theater’s cafe, where you can get some delicious bites and drinks before enjoying the show.
Address: 220 N Washington St, Falls Church, VA 22046
2. Falls Church Farmers Market
While all-purpose grocery and convenience stores are plentiful, those looking for something a little out of the ordinary can’t miss a visit to the Falls Church Farmers Market. A local hub to pick up fresh produce, discover new flavors, or just do some people watching, the market brings a diverse range of products to try and people to meet. Open Saturdays from 8am to noon, be sure to arrive early for the best picks and freshest pastries—and don’t miss the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and network with some neighbors, business owners, and farmers!

3. Audacious Aleworks
If you’re a craft beer aficionado, Audacious Aleworks is the place to be. Opened in 2018, this popular microbrewery offers, as they put it, “a rainbow of high-quality beer for everyone’s tastes”. This dynamic neighborhood taproom has become a beloved Falls Church staple for its diversity of fresh brewed beers and easygoing, inclusive atmosphere that even welcomes your four-legged best friends. The perfect spot for a nightcap or for some weekend day drinking, we recommend their New England IPA, which has a balanced body and citrusy hop—but, really, any of their beers will be a winner. Don’t forget to pair your pint with their delicious grilled cheese! For those who prefer to enjoy a fresh brew in the comfort of their own home, Audacious Aleworks offers canned beers, growlers, and bottles for take-away. Cheers!
Address: 110 E Fairfax St, Falls Church, Virginia 22046
4. Cherry Hill Farmhouse
The Cherry Hill Farmhouse is a can’t-miss treat for the history buffs. Dating back to 1845, it’s one of the oldest homes in Falls Church. Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm and lifestyle of a bygone era. The mid-19th century house, barn, and outbuildings offer educational programs, seasonal afternoon tea, and even private rentals for weddings and events. Book a tour for a closer look at the rural Virginia of yesteryear, or picnic on the lawns and enjoy its beauty from afar. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon outdoors.
Address: 312 Park Ave., Falls Church, VA 22046
5. Tinner Hill
A staple of black history that all history buffs will appreciate, Tinner Hill has been recognized as being the location where the first rural branch of the National Association for the Protection of Colored People (NAACP) was initiated in the United States. Purchased by the Tinner family after the Civil War, the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation has two nearby properties that are intimately linked to the history of Falls Church, and to the African Americans struggle for rights and freedoms throughout the Jim Crow and Civil Rights Movement era.
From educational events to music festivals, this Falls Church mainstay serves as a cultural hub and cogent reminder of progress achieved, and still needed. Stop by to learn more of the history of Falls Church from an enlightening new perspective.
