[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live there. Good schools, shopping nearby, easy to get on 66, Fairfax County Parkway, and not too bad to the toll road and Dulles airport is close. Great Korean BBQ places, movie theatre, parks, winery nearby.[/quote]

+2.

You'll get a lot of people on this board hating on it because it's so "far" but it's perfectly nice if you don't have to commute to DC. [/quote]

We moved here because our commutes are to Manassas are and Fairfax City. We used to do the "reverse commute" (which PS, no longer exists) and lived close to the city. We didn't see the kids, so we moved.

Its boring. I literally fantasize about living in Vienna as if it were living in Paris or something by comparison because there is at least a center area you can walk around. There is none of that here.

That said, our sub division is about 30ish years old and has gorgeous trees and we connect to a bunch of park trails for walking, running, biking right out the back of the neighborhing cul de sac. So that part is nice. Our neighbors are nice. We also live on the west side of 28 and North of 66, so we are right near Chantilly HS (zoned for it) and our babysitter is on the other side of 28 and south and says we don't "really"  live in Centreville. But its our address and I don't know what else you would call it! We can't say we live in "Fair Lakes Shopping Center", although basically we do.[/quote]

Why can't you walk around Fairfax City or Fairfax Corner? [/quote]

I guess I meant walking from my house. [/quote]

Fair Lakes is the ultimate big box strip mall.  No one would ever build something like that again, aesthetically speaking.  But they left some tree presence and hey, it was the 80s. [/quote]
