Can you elaborate? I know some people that owned there about 15 years ago and they didn't last long, they hated it. The people were so miserable from their long commutes on Route 66!

This neighborhood was headed downhill 25 years ago. Can't imagine it s desirable now.

Not the TH part - the SFH section, which is much larger. Plenty of neighborhoods have "pool clubs", so I am curious as to what bonuses they might be referring to? I know people who did quite well when they sold 15 or so years ago....

Agree with PP re Cardinal Forest and Keene Mill. Good schools great area with pools, sidewalks, etc.

I don't know the exact development but friends recently sold their house in Vienna (not too far from Dun Loring metro) for about that much.

Not the PP, but I also recommend the Dunn Loring Woods area near Dunn Loring Merrifield. It's technically Vienna, but it's closer to Falls Church. Houses aren't anything special (mid-50s ramblers and colonials) but a lot have been updated and well-maintained. At $630, you could get one of the nicer ones (prob 2000 sqft including basement) with a good yard. Lots of young families moving in due to easy access to metro, major roads, and burgeoning commerce. Schools are good and zoned for Marshall HS.

We live in City of Fairfax and love it. DH bikes to Metro. Zips are 22030 & 22031. You could also try right outside the city in 22033. Of course this all depends where you are commuting to - I would not want to go to Old Town from here.

Look for Vienna Woods and you can get Madison instead.

Not much of a difference between marshall, in fact Madison has less offerings like no STEM school and is old.

Dunn Loring woods has a better commute and is closer to the metro and mosaic.

Annandale, outside the beltway (near Springfield, Burke, and Fairfax)

That is a really interesting article. But It includes just about every neighborhood in Northern virginia, DC and maryland.

We're listing in Vienna Elementary next week for something close to that price range.

You'll have some options soon I suspect. Good luck!
