Learn about Fairfax
Fairfax is also known as Downtown Fairfax, or Fairfax City, and has an estimated population of 24,000 people. The area where the city now lies was settled in the early 18th century by farmers from Virginia's Tidewater region and was the scene of the first land battle of the Civil War. Today Fairfax is a quaint and friendly place to live, with restaurants and historic buildings that dot the city. There are weekly farmers markets, art galleries and historic buildings. The residents of Fairfax have access to several parks within the city limits as well as the Bull Run Regional Park, just a short drive away. Virginia's largest public educational institution, George Mason University, is located along the city's southern border and has over 30,000 students.
Property Market Fairfax
Fairfax is conveniently located just 17 miles west of Washington, D.C. and many of the people who work there choose Fairfax for its more affordable housing. In 2005 the city underwent extensive redevelopment and more than 45,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space was added. In addition to that, 70,000 square feet of office condominiums and 85 upscale residential condominium units were also built. Fairfax has an excellent public service system and is served by the Washington Metro's Orange Line, buses and metrobuses. Average home prices have remained stable and residences that are available include large family homes as well as apartments and condominiums.
