Manassas is an alright place. There are certain areas which are not so great, especially at night. One thing I would like to see change is the public schools in this area. Every year it seems like the security is getting worse. Anyone can just go into the schools which is dangerous considering the things going on in our world today. I also feel like there is a lot more violence occurring in schools. One thing I do like is some of the shopping centers in Manassas. There are stores not too far from the houses which makes them easily accessible to people and there is also public trasnportation if needed.
Manassas is a great place to have a family, or to move if you're looking to have a larger property in the DC area for less price. It's definitely up-and-coming, with plenty of new restaurants, breweries, and things to do nearby. If you have to commute north in the morning OR if you're wanting big city life, it may not be best. However there are some great places to live, nature nearby, and you can have a yard! That goes a long way.
I have lived in Manassas since I was 2 years old, and the area has only gone down hill since I have grown up. My parents originally moved to Manassas because of the great schools and the close proximity to Washington, D.C.; however, as my sister and I became older crime rates increased and gang activity was growing significantly in my neighborhood. Growing up, both my car and my parent's cars were broken into multiple times and home break-ins were attempted as well, which led to my father installing a security system. Due to the decreasing quality of my area, I transferred to a high school on the other side of town so the quality of my education was enriched. Whenever I come back to Manassas when I am on a break from college, I see that there has been very few improvements to the area.
