[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all of the advice. I work in education so I guess that's why I am more mindful of this than others might be.. but I do think that even if we never have kids, there is a clear link between real estate and high performing schools, and I'd like to make an informed decision when we buy.

It looks like Fairfax County might be the best option. I really do enjoy living in Cameron Station despite the outside area and the school issue- I feel like it has a clear sense of community, friendly people and I like the easy access to metro and close proximity to DC.  The townhome/space issue doesn't really bother me when you are talking about a 2,500 square foot one. Oh well! Time to start looking more at Fairfax County![/quote]

Real estate values in many parts of Alexandria (city) are very high, and this has nothing to do with the quality of the public schools. If you are ok with independent schools and like a neighborhood in Alexandria, perhaps consider staying. And as others have said some of the city's schools are improving. And maybe expand your search into Falls Church city, Arlington, etc.[/quote]
