[quote=Anonymous]Weird thread back from the dead.  I’m pretty sure the OP is long gone four years ago.  I lived in Manassas for several years.  The schools suck.  They are truly awful.  The worst.  Aside from that, the main negative is commute.  It’s horrible.  Wake up at 4:00, leave at 5:00 get somewhere at 6:00 so that you can leave work at 2:30 and only take an hour and a half to get home instead of 2-2.5 hrs.  Terrible.  I’ve seen the description “soul sucking commute” in this forum a lot.  A would sucking commute is a delight compared to the Manassas commute.

It’s cheap, it does have that going for it.  It’s affordable for basically anyone.  Someone mentioned upthread that housing doesn’t appreciate quickly and that’s true.  It’s not all negatives though.  People are nice and very friendly.  It’s very safe.  I never once felt unsafe.  There is some petty crime like anywhere but not really anything you need to worry about.  There are an oddly high number of 7-11’s.

I wouldn’t recommend people move to Manassas unless they’re looking for cheap housing while moving up the ladder and can deal with the commute for a couple of years (and have no kids).  I wouldn’t recommend buying in Manassas for anyone unless they plan on using private schools and have a job very close by.[/quote]
