Falls Church CITY is crazy expensive housing, Falls Church is very doable for the area. |
| We live in West Springfield and I know lots of feds and military in West Springfield/Burke. If you can stand the suburbs, it's great for family life - good schools, parks, pools, etc. plus relatively affordable housing. |

| It is so depressing that Bowie schools are so awful. I grew up there and everyone's parents were Feds. Many SAHMs w/ fed dad or double Feds, or fed parent and teacher parent. It was a pretty awesome middle class, nice place to grow up. My friends from high school are all well adjusted, successful people and we regularly lament that we'll never be able to have a community like that, with a decent commute (rte 50 or park and ride from new Carrollton metro) with great amenities, areas, affordable pool clubs and county resources ANd affordable housing stock. It just doesn't exist anymore. Middle class people have to sacrifice SO much more than they did 20 years. |
| I'm the Bowie PP, I forgot to add that the schools were also good 20 years ago. So sad that my old schools are in a shambles now. |
| GS 15 and GS 13 South Arlington. |
| we live in reston. lots of feds -- a lot of our neighbors seems to work at langley. there's also a commuter bus to the pentagon. |
| GS 14 (him) and 13 (her). Downtown Silver Spring. |
| Two 15s. SW DC. It's nice to walk along the waterfront and unwind after long days at work and a fast commute and trip back to work if you get called back later in the evening. |
