Manassas vs Fairfax County - 9/7/2015
Hi all:
Looking for some insider info. I am from Boston. My husband was transferred down to Herndon, VA, and my son is going to George Mason University, so we are heading down to VA. Actually, my husband is already renting a house in Manassas on the Occoquan Resevoir, and would love to stay in Manassas where you get huge houses for the money. Our realtor and on the surface, I hear stay away from Manassas. Lower level of living-higher crime, immigrant community, schools bad--or lower than Fairfax county that has some of the best schools in the country. Any feedback welcome, as I am totally clueless! We have gone out in Old Town Manassas and love it. Also, we will probably be moving once my son graduates in aobut 4 years, so don't want to be stuck not being able to get out when needed. WE notice many houses drop their asking prices considerably, or are taken off altogether. Husband, very OK with this--as he likes big, different, homes. I'm more practical--THANKS!

History and All American City - 7/6/2014
I live in a subdivision outside the City of Manassas (the Sudley Subdivision) a couple of miles from the Manassas Battlefield National Park. I love the history of the area and the proximity to the more rural countryside. The City has some Norman Rockwell appeal with the Parades during national Holidays (Independence, Memorial, Veterans and Labor day, the lights in Bull Run Park at Christmas. I am a motorcyclist and enjoy riding out into the country side that is not far away. it is also about an hour from the sights and culture of Washington

Would love to move - 12/6/2009
I have lived in Manassas City for approximately 25 years now and in the overall area since 1973 and I can't wait to leave here. There are so many issues that I don't know where to start. First off is the cultural change. Manassas has basically become little Mexico, or Salvador or pick any Hispanic country you'd like. Many are good law abiding citizens and are good neighbors. But way too many are here illegally and many make no effort to learn the English language and improve themselves. The problems caused by them would take all day. Secondly is the traffic. The entire DC region sucks when it comes to traffic. Way too much money will need to be spent and attitudes will need to change before it can be fixed.
Thirdly is the cost of living. Even though home prices has taken a nose dive along with most of the country it's still costly to live here. Once the economy recovers I imagine the home prices will as well.
Manassas has a decent amount of Cultural things but
