In case you are interested in Prince William county, I will quickly explain "Manassas"

Certain parts of Prince William county are referred to as "Manassas."  These areas are part of Prince William county, zoned for Prince William county schools, policed by Prince William county Police, etc.

There is also the "City of Manassas"--which is different.   City of Manassas has it's own school system, it's own police force, it's own city government, etc.

There is also another city right next to Manassas along route 28, called "Manassas Park."   That is also a completely separate city with it's own school system, own police force, etc.

Fun confusing fact:   The high school for the city of Manassas is called "Osbourn high School."   One (of the 13) High Schools in Prince William county schools is called "Osbourn Park High School.'  
The two high schools are only about 2 miles apart.

AND...
Osbourn Park high school (remember, that's in "Manassas" that's part of Prince William county--NOT the city of Manassas) is literally right on the border of Manassas Park, the next street over is in Manassas Park.

I found this all very confusing when I first moved here.

Nestled in this confusing configuration (great explanation, btw) is this little gem of a neighborhood called Occoquan Forest. It's p/o PWC zoned for Osbourn Park HS. When houses come up for sale, the go fast. Voluntary HOA (~$250), unique houses and larger plots, access to riverside neighborhood trails, parties, boat dock/launch, dog park, and playground with several properties along the water with their own docks. Inland properties have access to the river through a trail system. Very active neighborhood if you want to get engaged, otherwise be a hermit. To each their own. Awesome community with an interesting history.
