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!
