Stores are upscale enough, food options are diverse enough, a DMV, and the top 4 mobile service providers (all corporate stores) located inside the mall. The circle that surrounds the mall has several banking options for business like Wells Fargo/BOA and lodging choices for resting like the Marriott. It's a self contained ecosystem and a great example of a "one stop shop" location.

I grew up between Potomac Mills and the mall in Fredericksburg so this mall was a HUGE step up on all fronts. Sure the Tyson's Corner and Pentagon City malls are tops in the area but Fair Oaks is a very accessible substitute.
