Thanks, but Vienna is like 10 miles away from dc. Is there anything closer with good schools. looking for a 3 or 4 bedroom house. I mean like is there anything like this in Clarendon? [/quote]

I'm the pp that just posted about Arlington. Sorry I should have clicked on your link, I now see how big. Yes this DEFINITELY exists in Arlington and anyone that says Vienna is as close to DC as you can get, must live in Vienna. To give you an idea - I don't live walking distance to Ballston, we have to bus or bike - (we're in westover, we love it), so it takes us a little longer, but I still got home from mcpherson square door to door in less than 30 minutes last week a couple times at 4p. If you're going farther into the city though it can be longer, my husband goes to Capitol hill area and has a 10 minute walk after he gets off the metro and it can take him an hour which is a bummer. But you have the budget to be even closer to a metro, you can totally have a quick commute. The overlee knolls/westover neighborhood is also nice and you could go to the east falls church metro from there. This will be a bit less convenient of a commute, the house below for example is a 19 minute walk to east falls church metro or a quick bus ride (but you have to catch the bus and they come every 15 min or so, just adds a step similar to our situation). but you can also walk to Westover shops from here and it's a lovely hood. obviously I'm bias, I live in Arlington so you can take what I say with a grain of salt but there is nothing closer in if that's your priority. If i had your budget, I'd prioritize the closer in metros (ballston, clarendon) to limit commute time.
