The City of Manassas originated in 1852 as a railroad junction, but is perhaps best known as the location of the First Battle of Bull Run, the first major land battle of the Civil War.  Whether re-living history at the National Battlefield Park or strolling through an open-air farmer's market in Old Town Manassas, residents and visitors enjoy a diverse selection of cultural and recreational activities.  From first time buyers to seasoned investors, the Manassas housing market offers outstanding opportunites for all who desire to call Manassas home.
