Park Fairfax Rental

It’s a commute to campus, but only about ten minutes and it is the most affordable option. Parking is free and half the utilities are covered. I would have liked more condominium style living closer to campus or a short metro ride, but I couldn’t afford the area near Arlington.

ParkFairfax

ParkFairfax is a great place to live.... the location is unbeatable... close to DC and various modes of public transportation. Hugely pet friendly with parks and walking trails... good for active people with tennis courts, basketball courts, pools... and a very sad gym haha.... Better for renting- condo fees are insane.

I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.

Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.

Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Meridian at Braddock Station
Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.

Absolutely love it. So many friendly people and fun restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Feels like you are apart of a community and very easy to meet people.

Public transportation is excellent. Really don't need a car. Holmes Run Park great for running and bicycling. Restaurants, shopping and malls within 5 miles.

Close to DC and other Virginia cities... good public transport... not as young and fratty as Arlington but still plenty of social opportunities... Love it

This is an awesome area. It is lots of fun to explore and a nice change from being in the city for school all the time.

Old Town is great! So many restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and hiking. Easy to walk to all the shops on King Street, and super close (walkable) to two metro stops, Braddock Road and King Street. Commute to Foggy Bottom via metro is only about 30 minutes, and it is a straight trip on the blue line from Braddock Road to Foggy Bottom-GWU.
