'''Huntington''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax County]], [[Virginia]], United States. The population was 11,267 at the 2010 census.<ref name="Census 2010">{{Cite web| url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US5139064| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Huntington CDP, Virginia| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| access-date=October 6, 2016}}{{dead link|bot=medic|date=April 2020}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> It is located next to the southern border of the city of [[Alexandria, Virginia|Alexandria]] and is part of the [[Washington metropolitan area]]. Its main component is the namesake Huntington subdivision, a late-1940s neighborhood of mainly [[duplex (building)|duplex]] homes.

In June 2006, the lower-lying northern section was ravaged by [[Mid-Atlantic United States flood of 2006|floods due to a torrential rainstorm]] that sent adjoining [[Cameron Run]] over its banks. Nevertheless, it remains popular with first-time home buyers due largely to its proximity to the [[Huntington station (Washington Metro)|Huntington Metro station]], the southern terminus of [[Washington Metro|Metrorail]]'s [[Yellow Line (Washington Metro)|Yellow Line]]. There are also several high-rise apartment and condominium complexes on and near [[U.S. Route 1]] where much of the CDP's population resides. The area is included in [[ZIP code]] 22303 and has an Alexandria mailing address, although it is outside the city limits.
