    It's a pretty nice shopping center. In fact it might be the best in Fairfax . Yet having traveled internationally, the adage of malls being an American thing aren't really true. Yes there are water fountains for kids to play in on warm days, and checkers and chess with big pieces. Also there's a wonderful movie theater. Yet it's like so many others. People drive like maniacs here. I usually park on purpose to the side of the theater. Coastal Flats and Ozzie's are top notch. If I'm in a hurry Chipotle and Potbelly do fine. There's a Peet's coffee one can relax in. REI has amazing and experienced outdoors sales staff, but you'll pay a lot there. Having visited the yoga studio once, am just grateful to have survived this.

    A classic location indeed! Wouldn't say this area is as popping as it used to be; but it is still a pleasant area to hang out, eat, and catch a movie! Although they have quite a bit of stores to check and places to eat; not usually the type of stores I would personally shop at but! Some places to eat include (Coastal Flats - one of the Great American Restuarants, Chipotle, Pot Belly, California Pizza Kitchen, and the only dessert place in familiar with is the OG Ben & Jerry's!) They used to have a fountain in the middle but how they just have a simple seating area~ 5.5/10 would recommend for a quiet, pleasant place to hang out!

    AND you can have a "walk me down"!

    This outdoor center is my neighborhood go-to for local shopping, dining/happy hour, and watching movies. A quick minute from our home, Fairfax Corner is a contemporary shopping center hosting a variety of national & local retailers, offices & eateries--Including Coastal Flats, Ruth's Chris, Ozzie's Good Eats, Uncle Julio's, PF Chang, and others. There is an open container policy ( called Sip, Sip, Hooray! ) throughout the complex, and patrons can carry their drink in hand as they stroll down the well-maintained walkways or sit around the interactive outdoor fountain. Many restaurants (including California Pizza Kitchen, Crafthouse, P.F. Chang's, or Uncle Julio's) participate in this program and most stores even allow you to browse with your drink in hand (**unless you see a sign on the store that reads "No Alcohol Permitted Inside", you are free to enter with your beverage) What a great happy hour area! I always find parking pretty close to where I want to shop, sit, or dine, and traffic is never as congested as Tyson's Corner. Another great bonus I find in Fairfax corner is the sense of community and reward for giving service. Military and in some cases first responders receive discounts at many of the stores - - from 10% off at Plow&hearth and South Moon to 25% off beers until 9pm at Crafthouse to 20% spa treatments at Red Door and even 50% off one entree at Uncle Julio's!! Check out the website for exact discounts and participating merchants. With this kind of support for the community and of those who serve it through a variety of roles, I feel good about spending my dollars in this shopping center.

    Oh boy do I love Fairfax Corner. It is easily accessible from where I live and it is an awesome place to enjoy the summer weather. With so many options there are plenty of things to keep busy. You can find me hitting up Caribou Coffee and then reading in the "courtyard" on Sunday mornings, or grabbing some Ben and Jerry's (with your 10% off Yelp Check-In offer of course!) and walking through Arhaus or the other shops in the evening, or getting happy hour after work at Ruth's Chris Steak House with their $7 dishes and drinks, or even just going to the Rave Motion Pictures on a weekend. There are not really any "unique" stores but this style of shopping experience is slowly growing across the nation. I know of a similar town center like Fairfax Corner in Easton, Ohio which I am positive is built by the same developers...anyways I digress. My only complaint is that the area isn't larger! Parking here on weekends can be miserable and when I went to see the Avengers you could not get a spot at all (it took at least 15-20 minutes to park). You had to stalk people to their car to find a spot. Also, on weekend nights the movie theater is crawling with teens; I've never had a bad experience at the Rave or at Fairfax Corner (other than PF Changs...).

    It's nice to have a mini town center so close to home. Fairfax Corner is a great mix of restaurants, shops, services and entertainment. Spending a warm afternoon at the fountain with my kiddo is one of our favorite activities. There are seats for the adults and the crowd never seems too crazy. Parking here can be problematic, depending on the time of day. I aim for one of the one-hour or two-hour street spots, but often end up winding through a lot to park. The weekend dinner hour can be the worst time -- just plan to park over by the movie theater and walk. Favorite Fairfax Corner stops: The Nest Egg, REI and Coastal Flats.

    Nice restaurant options and very clean outdoor venue. Safe for small kids with a good pedestrian friendly setting.

    I usually enjoy browsing HomeSense for unique home items, but my recent visits left me…read moredisappointed. When I checked out on my last trip, the young gentleman at the register kept yawning and barely acknowledged me -- it came across as lacking basic manners and customer service. To make matters worse, a picture frame I bought turned out to be damaged in the corner when I unwrapped it at home. When I brought it back to return, the sales associate spoke to me in an accusatory tone and insisted that I had damaged it. I explained that I discovered the damage only after opening the packaging, but she refused to accept the return. Thankfully, I asked to speak with the Manager, who checked my receipt, realized I had purchased it just the day before, and resolved the situation professionally. I appreciated the manager stepping in, but the interaction should never have escalated to that point. Glad it was ultimately corrected, but the sales associate definitely needs better training in communication, customer courtesy, and how to handle returns without blaming customers.

    I was in the area today due to my husband going to the medical center and getting his eyes…read moredilated. Thus, it was possible that I may be the one driving home. Anyway...while he was at his appt., I decided to walk around the shopping center (FairLakes Promenade). I had seen Home Sense before but never got around to checking it out. Finally, got to do that today. At first glance, it looked like it was a furniture store. Yes, they have lots of furniture but a deeper look showed there was so much more. There are towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, household cleaning items, rugs and decorative items. My intention was just to look not buy. However, when I saw the food items, I realized that I needed a shopping cart. Things that caught my eye...imported pasta, pasta sauces, spices, sweets and a cleaning formulation for shower doors and mirrors. Truthfully, there were other items that attracted me but I exercised will power. For example, I saw a lovely vase but my sensible side said "we don't need another vase." There was artwork but sensible side said "We have enough of that and only so much wall space". When I went to check out, the cashier was friendly. I found out, when he tried to get me to sign up for a credit card, that they are part of a conglomerate that includes TJ Maxx. No, we don't need another credit card! My haul ended up costing $35 plus change. Once we were home, I showed my husband my haul. He asked what it cost and was pleasantly surprised. Aw, gee! I'm so proud of myself :D So, no regrets for paying Home Sense a visit!
