Amissville (Warrenton, Gainesville, Haymarket: house, neighborhood, school)

[bpt]

HI,
We are about to put an offer in on a house in Amissville VA. The house is right off 211 and not in a neighborhood. We had been mostly looking at homes in Haymarket and Gainesville but fell in love with this house and the commute is better for us too. We also like that property taxes were on the lower side. Our young kids will be attending a smaller school in NOVA but we did check out the Rappahannock school system and could see sending our kids there in the future if that worked out best for our family/our kids.

Does anyone have any info about Amissville- positive or negative? We know it is a more rural area and so it is harder for us to get a feel as to the flavor of the little town. The few people we have met at work that live there love it. We would not be far from Warrenton (about 15 min). Any info on 211 as far as traffic, deer, car accidents...? We have younger children and know they will be driving in the distant future ( back roads vs major roads) and so we also took that into consideration when looking for homes.

Thanks for any input!

To my knowledge, Amissville has not come up in discussions on the Northern Virginia forum. You may want to start a thread on the general Virginia forum as well.
