Fairfax County, Virginia
Fairfax County is a hub of activity, just outside Washington D.C. It’s one of Virginia’s most populous and diverse counties. You’ll find everything from government workers to tech entrepreneurs here.
The county has great schools, which attract many families. Tysons Corner is a major shopping and business center. Traffic can be a pain, but that comes with the territory.
History’s not forgotten though. George Washington’s Mount Vernon is a big draw. Fairfax has tons of parks and trails for when you need a break from the urban bustle. It’s expensive to live here, but many think it’s worth it.
