Fairfax County alone has over a million residents and well over 200 schools, to give you an idea of why we're asking you to be more specific! Not to mention Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Prince William, Loudoun ...

Like I mentioned, I am looking to rent to start with. I am looking for 3 bedroom home and My budget is around 1500/month.

Please suggest which area should I consider.

Thanks in advance

I found some 3 BR townhouses in Burke for $1500 on a real estate web site. Unfortunately, $1500 is pushing it for a 3 BR home, and these neighborhoods will not be as "nice" as others in Fairfax County. If you want a SFH, you will probably need to go out beyond Fairfax County.

I thought maybe the Lake Ridge area (zip 22192), but all I am seeing are townhomes in the $1500-$1650 range.

Would a townhome be ok?

If not Fairfax, are there areas around Fairfax where we could find SFH for rent for 1500/month?

As our son is going to pre-school right now so we have some time to explore the area once we are there for few months.

Thanks in advance....

To get a SFH for $1500, you will need to look in Prince William County or beyond. Arlington, Alexandria, and Falls Church will all be at least as expensive as Fairfax for a home suitable for a family. To give you some sense of the market, many people pay $1500 to rent a 1 BR apartment in Fairfax and other closer-in locations.

Thanks for your input; based on which I checked the rentals in Manassas/Woodbridge area and I am able to find 3 bd around the range I am looking for.

Could you please suggest if one area better than other or there are any other area in PWC which I should look into?

Let me know....

Do you know where the rentals are that you saw? Do you have a link? If you have the name of the community that would help.
I do see these in Dale City
