Try one of the smaller houses in Glen Echo Heights.

Which is 20 days of reading time.

That's definitely woodsy and is a fantastic neighborhood - I have a good friend who lives a couple of streets over. Lots of kids.

For more space for the money, very close-in and very woodsy, try Forest Glen Park in Silver Spring. There are 3 listings there from $500K to $620K. ES is Woodlin.

Some parts of Falls Church City are very wooded, but the SFH in that price range will be very small, and it's a small-town feel instead of a country feel. Excellent schools.

Lake Barcroft and Sleepy Hollow in Falls Church also have the woodsy feel that you're looking for. Sleepy Hollow Elementary is very good, but you may consider going private for middle/high school. Congressional Schools (private PK-8) is very close.

I just sold a 1962 rambler in Chesterbrook Woods--$975k, standard. There might be other neighborhoods in McLean that are under $800k--those that are close to Kent Gardens Elementary, but I can't remember the name....?

Woodside Park in Silver Spring. Walkable to Metro, older neighborhood with prewar houses, deep setbacks, lots of trees. Close to the park too.

The zip is 20910

I second the recommendation for Mantua. Great wooded neighborhood, a short hop to DL Metro and feeds Woodson HS.

Palisades and Kent

Close-in Potomac. Fantastic schools. You could get 2500 sq ft and a slightly dated kitchen for $750K. Tons of trees and close to many parks.

Nothing in Kent less than $800K, only one in Palisades less than $800K is 2 BR, 1 BA.

Here's a great looking place in Brookeville!

Chevy Chase DC. I drive and it's 20-30 minutes to Dupont. A few houses in the 'hood for under $800k. This one is closest to Rock Creek: http://www.homesdatabase.com/home-listings-CHEVY+CHASE-WASHINGTON-DC-MRIS-DC7488929

I'm not so sure Reston or Brookeville meet OP's criteria of a relatively close-in commute.

OP here. Those areas are too far for us. I am loving all of these great ideas though! Keep them coming! Anyone know about Kemp Mill in Silver Spring?
