    "Commute will be better once 66 is wider. It usually backs up once you get to Manassas. Depending on the time of day matters."

    "It’s kind of a far drive from DC, and I-66 during rush hour is a pain, but there’s easy access to the VRE train and the local buses in manassas. It’s also fairly easy to drive to the nearest metro stop and metro into the city to prevent driving, however going onto the interstate adds an unnecessary hour to you commute. Safe area, never felt unsafe at any time and is fairly quiet."

    "Lots of people own and walk their dogs regularly around here. There are great paths for walking, biking, etc. There are plenty of doggie bomb bag stations. They need to be used to pick up afterwards, they aren't just for decoration....some people come to this neighborhood to take advantage of others' good habits, which is not appropriate. "
