Fairfax City, Virginia
The City of Fairfax is an independent city of about six square miles completely surrounded by Fairfax County, with its own council, zoning and tax base rather than county jurisdiction, and it also serves as the county seat even though it sits outside the county. The market is mature and infill-only, with the action in mixed-use redevelopment of aging retail along Fairfax Boulevard and around Old Town Fairfax, supported by George Mason University next door and the I-66, US 50 and US 29 interchanges.
