[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where would you move in Virginia, that's walkable to a metro, has good public schools and your budget is 1.3M and wouldn't be a crazy commute into downtown dc? Like 1 hour max. I've done a search on realtor using this search criteria: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Washington_DC/beds-3/type-single-family-home,multi-family-home,condo-townhome-row-home-co-op/price-na-1200000/sqft-1500?pos=38.876815,-77.124751,38.930184,-77.047503,14&qdm=true Ideally the place would be as close to dc as possible, near a metro, but are there good public schools? Thanks.[/quote] North Arlington meets this criteria: good schools, multiple metro stops, and as close in as you can get to DC while not being IN DC. Courthouse, Virginia Square, Clarendon, Ballston, and East Falls Church stations all meet your criteria. I put some below. You don't mention size of the house, you will of course be in a "smaller" house than 1.3 mil could buy you further out. That's the trade off anytime you're closer in with good public schools. People on this board will go on and on about overcrowding in Arlington Public Schools and it IS a problem the county is having to deal with, but they are still some of the best public schools in the area if you ask me (and most people in the area! hence the housing prices) https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/ArlingtonVA/fsba,fsbo,new,cmsn_lt/12079194_zpid/30258_rid/38.894757,-77.089713,38.880427,-77.123144_rect/14_zm/0_mmm/ https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Arlington-VA/fsba,fsbo,new,cmsn_lt/12087088_zpid/30258_rid/38.892386,-77.084177,38.878055,-77.117608_rect/14_zm/0_mmm/ https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Arlington-VA/fsba,fsbo,new,cmsn_lt/house,mobile,land,townhouse_type/12086984_zpid/30258_rid/38.88988,-77.083404,38.875549,-77.116835_rect/14_zm/0_mmm/[/quote]
