Eakin Properties was founded in 1932, when LeRoy Eakin, Sr. began developing single-family homes in the Northern Virginia area. Acquiring large tracts of land in Fairfax County and Falls Church, LeRoy and his sons quickly grew the company to become one of the region’s most trustworthy, reliable, and successful development companies. Following World War II, Eakin Properties further expanded, developing numerous retail sites and the 800-apartment community at Monticello Falls Church.
