Huntington is a census-designated place (CDP) in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The population was 8,325 at the 2000 census. Taking the rough shape of a triangle, bounded by the city of Alexandria to the north, U.S. 1 to the southeast and North Kings Highway to the west, its main component is the namesake Huntington subdivision, a late-1940s neighborhood of mainly duplex homes. In June 2006, the lower-lying northern section was ravaged by 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 Metro station, the southern terminus of Metrorail's Yellow Line. There are also several high-rise apartment and condominium complexes on and near Route 1 where much of the CDP's remaining population resides. Homes and businesses have Alexandria addresses (ZIP code 22303).
