try to go 22101 inside the Beltway. It's the best for resale, schools, and rezoning (very unlikely within 22101). I think the best pyramid is Churchill, Cooper, Langley but others will argue just as strong for the McLean High school pyramid.

TH is okay if you can not afford anything else but if you can then do not go backwards but forward. Once you have a kid you will love a green grassy area called backyard because you can go play ball, run and have a play set within few steps. Yes, you still can go to the park for socializing and all but you don't have to do it every time you want to take kiddo out of the house. Once you move into TH, you will immediately be sorry that you don't have a decent backyard, because the bathroom sized brick-paved thing does not qualify as one. Kids run, kids bump into things, kids fall, you need grass. You want grass.
TH is the only option for people with very tight budget who want to have a family and look for good schools areas, if you are in this position then do it, otherwise go to the next step, as the SHF is the next step.

Well in the case of the FCC townhouse the park is literally right across the street, as well as a farmers market, library, etc.

Also, FCC doesn’t have only one elementary school as another PP said. I wish people who don’t know what they are talking about would stop making incorrect statements.

Do you live in FCC area? We have been living in Vienna for a long time and we so much want to move to an area at least in the LOOP and less traffic. I personally grew up with my grandparents in a town similar to FCC and I always went out to play with kids. Also one of us works in DC K street area and the other of us works in Arlington. This area was unknown to us when we started searching narrowly in 22101 zip. Now we see this one and we are attracted to this city area.

I do live in the FCC area. What do you want to know?

Hi OP here. Thanks so much for your advice! The market is going crazy. Seems very hard to negotiate price now We stay unmoved this week and see how the market goes.

I wish 22101 had more traditional houses like these. Boy do they go fast!

That crazy for an interior townhome. At least get an end unit
