I am biased when it come to Manassas City since my family calls it home. I have personally seen it grow and change since I was born in Prince William Hospital, all those years ago, which is located in the City of Manassas. I have lived in Prince William County for most of my life and is why I am an expert when it comes the area and much of Northern Virginia.

Manassas made its place on the map during the Civil War due to the two Battles of Bull Run with the first being the first major land battle of the Civil War. The Manassas Train station pictured above was a key cross roads for the trains that ran to Washington DC and south to Richmond. The battles took place a few miles away at Bull Run Creek and are now a national park with trails, museums, and plenty of history. The old stone house pictured to the left is located on the park and has the best winter sledding hill in Northern Virginia. The building was used as a hospital during the battle and also lent its name to our real estate brokerage firm StoneHouse Realty Inc.

The Manassas area is a suburb of Washington DC and includes the City of Manassas and surrounding Prince William County and both have their own Governing body. The state of Virginia is different then most states because some cities have their own governing body including police and schools separate from the surrounding county. Buyers relocating should remember this when moving to the area because a home can have a Manassas address but be governed by Prince William County.

Within Manassas is Old Town Manassas and is a true walkable community with excellent restaurants, shopping, and entertainment for everyone. There are holiday parades right through town, concerts and events at the Harris Pavilion, and many other activities. The commuter train VRE has a stop in Manassas for the commuters to Washington DC and other places in between. The commuter that prefer to drive have access to Route 28, Route 29, and interstate 66 to access all of Northern Virginia.

The housing in Manassas can satisfy the pickiest home buyers. The dominating style home is colonial but you can find just about anything with the right Realtor including ramblers, victorian, contemporary, cape cod and many more. There are new subdivisions being built and homes well over 100 years old all with small or large lots depending on the buyers needs. The home buyers looking for a good deal and can handle some risk there are short sale homes and REO/Foreclosed homes available. Home buyers looking to move to Manassas or Prince William County should consult a knowledgeable REALTOR to find the perfect dream home. (This is a shameless plug for My Services)
