Go western part of the county: oak hill, Floris, lees corner, Crossfield, etc/ Carson Franklin, or Rocky Run/ Chantilly or Oakton. You can do 400k, but probably a townhouse. Definitely most affordable top tier schools in the county. Commute to Tysons under a half hour (I do it) but you need to be willing to go/ pay for the toll road. Second place on good schools/ affordable house would be Burke Don't know the schools as well.

Have you checked out the price of housing lately? Even a townhouse in the Carson/Franklin area is running over 4.

It's doable...

You can still get some sfh's under $500k in Greenbriar. Walking distance to all 3 school levels, the library, parks and a shopping center. Close to fair lakes, fair oaks, Herndon, Reston, etc.

Yep, this. I grew up in Greenbriar (GBW, Rocky Run, then TJ (base was Chantilly)). It ain't glamorous, but there's a great neighborhood pool and 100% sidewalk availability.

The pool is REALLY difficult to get a membership to these days.

Greenbriar is a great community. However, isn't it more than a 20 minute commute to Tyson's?

With as bad as Tysons traffic is, you could live in freaking Pimmit Hills (that DCUM favorite!) and it would take 20 minutes to drive a couple miles down Rt. 7.

PP here. You know... I was be snarky in my previous post, but is Pimmit Hills possible for >$500k these days? Might be worth checking out.

I'd go with a townhouse in Burke.

I dont think West Springfield or Herndon or Burke are good areas. I guess its a matter of opinion.

You can only get a shoebox in pimmit for $550. And those are tear downs.

I can't speak for Herndon but you obviously don't know what you are talking about regarding Burke or West Springfield.

Maybe you should rent for a while and decide for yourself. Buying and selling homes can get expensive.
