Is Fairfax a town where I'll need a car to get to work?
Fairfax is a pretty walkable town and between bus service and the George Mason University metro station, you might not need a car for going to work, but you'll sure probably want one for weekends and errands.
What neighborhoods in Fairfax are good for eating out?
All along the Lee Highway are so many restaurants both chain and locally owned that it's often tough to make a decision. The Main Street area downtown has several great places. Check out Red, Hot and Blue for great Southern barbeque along with some good blues music.

I've got dogs. What are the best places in Fairfax for being outdoors with pets?
The best places in Fairfax for being outdoors with pets are in its 279 acres of public parklands and over 21 miles of trails. In Fairfax proper, all dogs must be kept on leash when enjoying the city's parks and other outdoor areas. However, there are some dog parks in surrounding towns in Fairfax County, including Baron Canyon, Blake Lane, Chandon, Grist Mill, Rock Hill District Park, Mason District, and South Run. Bull Run Regional Park and Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest and are larger parks outside of Fairfax that are also conducive to playing with pets.
Are there museums in Fairfax or nearby?
Yes. In fact, Fairfax is home to a few museums. The Fairfax Museum and Visitors Center curates exhibitions on city history and offers walking tours of Old Town Fairfax and the city's historic buildings in the spring and fall. Operated by the NRA, the National Firearms Museum features 15 galleries displaying 2,700 guns that span more than six centuries. The Cold War Museum is dedicated to the education, preservation, and research on the multifold confrontations between East and West from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union; however, the collections are still in progress.
