Im lookin to buy or maybe rent a townhouse in the fairfax city area. my current lease runs out at the end of march so ill need a place by then. anyone know of a good location or any new TH neighborhoods? Im lookin to spend no more than about 250k. thanks garage is a must if im payin over 200k.

 

For that amount of money you could find a pretty decent house w garage if you look hard enough. Check down in the kingstown area.

 

kingstowne... you mean springfield? we want to be closer to burke and fairfax city. the area we were gonna rent in is fair lakes... so we'd like to buy in that general area too if we could. i havent seen any houses w/ garages for 250k. thatd be pretty sweet tho if we could.

 

i live in fairlakes, right across from walmart! goodluck finding a town house with a garage for that much, how much are the onces behind the tacobell, those are NICE!

 

Not sure how much our place is worth cuz we're renting ($1825 a month). But I like this area. Suburbia is cool. No wannabees and plenty of MILF's!

 

yeah the house im in now is 475k. thats way too damn much!! i like the area. but i cant afford a newer SFH and i dont want a condo.

 

seriously... prices have gone up despite interest rates being so low. when my wife and i were looking several years ago, new townhouses were around $200K so if you look hard, you might find something for $250K. Avoid Ryan homes like the plague.. we went with Centex and we're very happy with our townhouse!

I know a realestate agent that works in that area if you're interested.

 

yeah i know prices are high. it sucks.
actually my GFs parents are thinking about buying a TH and we would rent from them. the agent they go with would be up to them. i just wanted to see if i could find a place that we could afford by ourselves without help from them or anyone.

 

If you're planning to rent, look for a nice house like we found. Then you can crank your TV/music up as loud as you want without anybody bitching!

 

yeah i know... i live in a huge house now. but itll just be my gf and i so we cant afford the 2400/mo rent b/t the 2 of us. if we could find a house for around 1500/mo, that be nice.
