Is Manassas still affordable?
We have two kids and It's a a smaller city city with about 42,674 people. Poverty rate is 5.9%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $434,700 on average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
