Yorkshire, VA, definitely has some English roots -- it is named after a region of England often known as "God's own county," and located in Prince William County.
The census designated place of Yorkshire, sitting right on the outskirts of Manassas, does very well in the "location, location, location" list of priorities of most real estate agents. It is just a short drive from the center of Washington, so commuting into the nation's capital is certainly a possibility. Yorkshire itself also has plenty to offer, from pleasantly green surroundings to a desirable selection of properties to rent.
Moving to Yorkshire
Yorkshire has an abundance of apartments for rent, so your chances of finding an acceptable place to lay your head at night are good. If you are looking for house rentals instead of apartments, then you are in luck, particularly if you are one of those romantic souls who can see the charms of row houses, since an unusually large amount of this type of property exists in Yorkshire.
Since there are no set neighborhoods in Yorkshire, this means it is usually fairly easy to find an apartment to rent here, so you do not have to start your apartment search too far in advance. To help you find a place quickly, ensure that you have everything you need to rent an apartment in hand before you start your search, including ID, a clean credit report, and enough cash to put down a deposit when you find your perfect pad.
Living in Yorkshire
Although most local residents rely on their cars to get to work, the local bus routes make it possible to get around. You can reach Washington, D.C., by taking a bus to West Falls Church Metro and connecting to D.C.'s efficient metro system. However, the WalkScore of Yorkshire is very low (only 29), so getting all your errands done without a car could be a frustrating experience.
If you do like to walk, then there are plenty of opportunities to do it for pleasure. The north end of Yorkshire backs onto Bull Run Regional Park, an expansive area of woodland hiking trails, open fields, and even a water park to keep residents cool in summer.
Living in Yorkshire gives you easy access to all the amenities that Manassas has to offer. Stroll through the streets of the Manassas Historic District, or visit the museum to find out more about the fascinating history of this area. Alternatively, spend a happy afternoon at one of the city's many golf courses. Or see oil paintings by the hottest up-and-coming local artists at Creative Brush Studio. Whatever floats your boat, you'll find an outlet for it here!
