Annandale is unique in that its history can be traced directly to the pre-Revolutionary period, when, in 1685, an Englishman by the name of Col. William H. Fitzhugh purchased over 24,000 acres of land and his descendants later named the tract "Ravensworth." From an untamed wilderness, Fitzhugh converted the land into one of the largest tobacco plantations in Northern Virginia.

Today Annandale is located at the Nexus of the gateway to the South. Close to the beltway, and a short drive from many larger American cities, Annandale has shaped itself as one of the nice places in the region.

In fact it is hard to go anywhere in the lower states without passing through Annandale. This means that there is a lot of opportunity for business here as thousands of trucks and trains pass through the city every month. That means that people spend time here and if they see a property they like they could buy it from you.

But besides business, Annandale is a great place to live. The city takes its civic responsibility very seriously and there are always new parks, and clean well paved roads for its citizens to enjoy. You too can enjoy all that Annandale has to offer if you decide to invest your real estate dollars here.
