Manassas has a lot going for it 4 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 08, 2022) Manassas has some relatively inexpensive, but nice, suburbs with a very convenient VRE station and unmistakable small town charm ("Old Town Manassas"). I'm a 41 year old single male who's been living in Manassas for 13 years. Manassas is alright, and it's getting better ...Read More Read Less
Cell Tower Frenzy 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 09, 2021) A place to call home while terrorized by cell phone towers. There are some 30 cell antennas / towers on display in Manassas. If you think you can get away by visiting the old town you are wrong. Verizon is there live and well situated in front of the Manassas Judicial courts. Who ...Read More knows what's inside that facility. Even cell antennas are sticking out at the radio tower in the back of the court.

Let's not forget the water tank through some more cell antennas in Old town. The worst is seen where people live. Some cell towers are masked as trees. Why is that? Is there something to hide?

Right before you hop on 66 you are immediately attacked by even more up close wireless radiation on exit 47. 3-4 cell towers were built there hard to miss.

There is no community. Everyone for themselves pretty much Neighbors all go to work and come back home clogging the roads. Annoying drivers put things in their cars to make a lot of noise and fearless from the public. Noise pollution is through the roof. No police are seen to stop and ticket drivers who exceed speed limit everyday. There is a law about Boise pollution and they exceed the decibel count, police not doing a thing about it.

Only hype here are the good Hispanic restourants. Read Less
Suburban area in transition 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 06, 2019) Many older parts of Manassas are deteriorating and crime is beginning to seep in from Fairfax County. On the other hand, there is a ton of economic development. The tech park near the GMU extension campus is booming. There is a huge Micron expansion underway. The Prince Willi ...Read More am County hospital just completed renovations/expansions. New housing developments are popping up all over to support these newer, high-paying jobs.

Old Town Manassas is small but vibrant with good restaurants and lots of family activities. There are some gems to be found but most of the shopping and dining in Manassas is strip malls and national chains. Read Less
