Fairfax, Virginia

Fairfax is a lovely and historic small city which is considered a suburb of Washington, D.C. Settled by farmers as early as 1700, it has remained a sought after area for living.

The area has a rich history which has been well preserved in both its buildings and in the history books. If you enjoy living history, and beautiful countryside, then finding an apartment in Fairfax will be a life changing experience.

Parks and Festivals

The city is home to George Mason University as well as the nation's largest community college which is adjacent to the city limits. Mason greatly contributes to Fairfax's cultural life with its performing arts center. There's an historical museum too which merits a visit.

There are any number of festivals which take place in Fairfax and there will always be one that is interesting. Fairfax County has over 18,000 acres of park lands so virtually every outdoor pursuit can be found here.

A City with Heart

The most historic section of the city is referred to as Old Town. There are a number of newly built condos and high rises which are a great juxtaposition to perfectly preserved period homes. The search for your Fairfax apartment will show you what a range this city has. From large complexes with every possible amenity to older, smaller buildings with period charm, there's a wide variety to select from. Expect tree lined streets, a small town feel, and lots of heart.

Banana Pudding

Since Fairfax is a very small city, there will be great places to eat nearby either within the city limits or just a few blocks away in other towns. Some of the favorites are Artie's Restaurant, where trying the banana pudding is a 'must', along with Bellisimo for fantastic Italian food. You'll find a number of pub type places that serve good meals, and there's bound to be one close to your Fairfax apartment for you to become a regular at.

Lively Pubs

For some nightlife within the city limits, give Bridge's a try. They often have very good music and the crowd is upbeat - a good place to make some new friends. Nearer to George Mason University, you'll find plenty of college type hangouts which are fun for beer and burgers. Give Auld Shebeen a shot. It's a traditional Irish pub that has different types of music. There's always a crowd and it's always lively.
