Like all great endeavors, Falcons Landing started as a dream – a dream to create a place where those who served their nation could relax and savor life to the fullest. The dream began with a group of retired officers who met regularly for breakfast at Andrews Air Force Base. One day they had a great idea; The Washington, D.C. area should have a military retirement community. They formed the Air Force Retired Officers Community (AFROC) and began a ten-year journey to make their dream a reality.

The original Board of Directors visited communities across the country to determine what would constitute the ideal retirement community. They secured financing, the perfect site, and commissioned the design and construction. Falcons Landing was completed in 1996 and the community is everything the Founders dreamed it would be... and more! We are proud to say we have been serving our residents for more than 27 years.
