Warrenton Community

Warrenton is a suburb of Washington, D.C. about an hours drive away and a 35 minute drive to Dulles airport. It is known for its quality of life and scenic beauty and received many awards for managing growth in such a way that protects its rich heritage, unique architectural features and open spaces. It received the coveted Preserve America Community Award from First Lady Laura Bush. Old Town Warrenton was recently named Prettiest Painted Places in America.

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 3 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.

Situated in the midst of Fauquier County's unparalleled rural landscape - with its abundant farming and long tradition of equestrian activity - the Town of Warrenton offers the inviting charm and experience of a genuine downtown, the convenience and service of a growing retail and office commercial district, and the job and high tech development opportunities of a high quality industrial corridor.

A progressive community with a proud tradition of excellence, Warrenton is well-positioned for meeting the challenges and embracing the opportunities of the 21st century.
