Warrenton-Quality of Life

 

Warrenton - Quality of Life Unsurpassed & Beauty Abound

The Town of Warrenton, Fauquier County, was recently named one of the Prettiest Painted Places in America by the Paint Quality Institute because of its Victorian and other painted homes.

Warrenton’s schools: four elementary, three middle schools and two high schools (both public and private), have very good test scores and low student to teacher ratios. Plus there are organizations that help students achieve and grow into healthy, caring adults. One is Fauquier County’s Promise, a place to find information about different Youth groups.

Warrenton and Fauquier County have a diverse population dedicated to preserving the small-town charm and community character available in the Virginia countryside. The population is growing at a steady rate of approximately 2 percent as the residents of the more urban areas of Northern Virginia choose to take advantage of the low cost of living in Warrenton while remaining close to a major metropolitan area. The median owner occupied property value is $284,700 and median rent is $1200 (2010 results.)

Historic Old Town Warrenton has a rich history while still remaining in the present, with shops, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants for every taste.
