Discover the Great Places to Live in Northern Virginia

Northern Virginia Magazine:
The appeal of land, no congestion, and fresh air draws people to exurbs like Warrenton. Million-dollar homes here generally come with acreage. While the county seat of Fauquier County is a mecca for horse folks, it’s also home to Old Town Warrenton and its bricked sidewalks. There, you will find more than 40 quintessential small shops and five art galleries. You’re certain to walk out with something for yourself or a friend at Main Street stores like Warrenton Market, which sells home décor, and Town Duck, which specializes in fine foods and gifts. At breweries and restaurants, including Altered Suds Beer Company and Molly’s Irish Pub, you’ll feel right at home. And locavores will want to try Alias for a special occasion. Wine lovers are close to Vint Hill Craft Winery (where winemaking classes are offered) and Virginia Governor’s Cup winners Granite Heights Winery and Molon Lave Vineyards and Winery.
