I'm pretty sure it is Fairfax County. It's made up of several communities in Northern Virginia, but perhaps one reason for its popularity is it's relative location to D.C. Fairfax County is definitely a really nice area to visit and the neighborhoods seem like a great place to live. If you're new or wanting to visit Virginia, below is a link for a great resource for things to do in Fairfax and also things to do in Washington D.C.

Hope that helps!
