After meeting realtor Jay D’Alessandro in downtown Fairfax’s Old Town Square, hosts Jen Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans tour three homes at three different price points in Fairfax, VA. Along the way, they consider the historic importance of Fairfax’s Historic Blenheim and the Civil War Interpretive Center and the ongoing work to better understand its soldier graffiti.

In Season 4, new series hosts Jennifer (Jen) Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans join a local realtor to tour three homes in each episode and immerse themselves in the communities of the D.C. Metro region one neighborhood at a time. 

Jen and Ricardo visit 12 neighborhoods this season, including Burke, Fairfax, Occoquan/Lorton, and South Arlington in Virginia; Cleveland Park, Hill East, Woodridge/Langdon, and Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.; and College Park, Gaithersburg, Frederick, and Ellicott City in Maryland. 

The first six episodes of Season 4 of If You Lived Here will air on Mondays at 9 p.m. on WETA PBS and 8 p.m. on WETA Metro, from Oct. 28 through Dec. 9, with no airings on Nov. 18. Six more episodes will premiere in early 2025.
