Catlett sits amid fields and winding two-lanes in eastern Fauquier County, offering room to spread out and an easy launch point to Warrenton, Manassas, and Bealeton. Daily life runs on Route 28 and 17, with commuters pairing a short drive to the Virginia Railway Express with a return to porches and gardens.
History buffs know the “Catlett Station” story; Civil War troop movements and raids once shaped these crossroads, and you can still trace the era at nearby Manassas National Battlefield Park. Weekends lean outdoorsy thanks to Fauquier trails, wineries, and lakes, with programs coordinated through Fauquier County Parks & Recreation. Equestrian properties and small farms dot the landscape, and seasonal stands keep local produce close.
Families appreciate the strong public school system. Students are served by Fauquier County Public Schools, with H. M. Pearson Elementary in town and secondary options like Auburn Middle and Kettle Run High nearby. Community life extends to youth sports, volunteer fire and rescue, and library programming in the surrounding area.
Whether you’re seeking acreage for a barn, a classic farmhouse to restore, or a newer home with a straightforward commute, Catlett rewards patience and planning.
