Pleasant place to live with great parks and trails, local bike and hiking trails are used by young and old alike.There is a friendly atmosphere and community spirit. The amenities are plentiful with movie theaters and bowling allies nearby.
Being near to Washington D.C with its great Museum, amazing architecture , festivals and political rallies it's hard to be bored!

What I like most about Centreville is the diversity, as cliche of an answer as it is. There are plenty of shops and restaurants that my parents feel at home with, and, though I'm American-born, I've grown to love these shops and restaurants. Tios Market, Lotte Mart (when it was there), Hmart, Lotte Plaza, Chicken Latino, and Two Amigos are places I frequented prior to the pandemic. My parents are instantly drawn to stores that hold a wider variety of hispanic products. I work at Giant Foods in Clifton, Virginia, and they're tragically lacking in hispanic ingredients and products. A lot of popular cheeses and cookies are absent in the Clifton Giant, but the Giant in the Centrewood Plaza holds everything my parents and I need. We will go out of our way and drive (rather than walk to our grocery store 5 minutes away) to find our favorite snacks and treats, with my particular favorite being a product of cookies called "Cremosas," which are actually Salvadoran, like my father.
Great location with easy access to main roads like 66, 28, 29, and Lee Highway. The only downside is the current construction taking place on the major onramps, but getting rid of all of the stoplights has already greatly improved normal traffic. There are several safe apartment complexes, including my own, and I even feel safe enough to walk by myself at night around the neighborhood. Overall, I have found the area more affordable when comparing to Loudoun county or other areas of Fairfax county in terms of housing for a single person. There are tons of great places to eat locally, especially varieties of quality Asian cuisine. For those who like running or walking, I have found several paths perfect for running around the local area that avoid street crossings and have had great luck running on the local highschool track on the weekends. It does seem like most single people in my area commute into work and have otherwise noticed that Centreville is mainly a family centered area.
