Do the commute yourself at the time you are going to commute before school ends to find out for yourself. If you do any drop offs, pick ups do those as well on your trial run. I gave a friend who commutes from NW @ 18th St and leaves at 5:30 - does one pickup on her way home and isn't home until almost 7:30.
The middle school and high school are the problems. Same issue as Alexandria City schools,
Lots more SAHMs down the parkway
Factor into your monthly costs a lawn service/ landscape service. Covers leaf removal and lawn mowing.
Move to N Arl. Better commute, better schools long term, less yard work
Yeah, but then you're stuck with N. Arl. people. No thanks.
