[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax city is as nice as Vienna and less pricey.  Better services, lower taxes.

I have looked and looked at other affordable communities to get closer to DC since I've been working downtown again.  I personally have not been able to find better schools for my housing buck. The drive on 66 takes me 40 minutes from Vienna/Fairfax Metro to the front desk in my office suite.

"In May, 2009, the City of Fairfax was rated as #3 in the "Top 25 Places to Live Well" by Forbes Magazine.[18] Forbes commended Fairfax for its strong public school system, high median salary, and a rate of sole proprietors per capita that ranks it in the top 1% nationwide. According to the magazine, "These factors are increasingly important in a recession. When businesses and jobs retract, as they have nationwide, municipalities with strong environments for start-ups, and those that offer attractive amenities, are better suited to recover from economic downtimes, as there are more business activity filling the void."

I doubt the services are better and City of Fairfax is a longer commute to Tysons and DC, if that matters, but it's certainly more affordable.    [/quote]
