[quote=Anonymous]12:31 poster had a pretty good description. We rented there for a year when we were new to the DC area (about 6 years ago). It was ok, but it was before my kids were in school and after having lived there a year, I don't think I'd buy there - although we would be in your same predicament - not able to afford houses in too many areas. We rent out near Chantilly now. Anyhow, we had good friends that owned a house there and they lived on a cute street (I want to say Griffiths? and had a nice house. Ours was not as nice. There's a few pockets of nicer places/bigger lots, but for the most part, I wouldn't want to buy there. I didn't think the local elementary was the best - my friend that still lives there says a lot of the families are low income and on reduced lunch - the PTA is uninvolved and doesn't have a lot of money, etc. Not that schools with less money are worse educationally, they just can't afford to do as much. I still remember these nearby residents that had chickens and a rooster in their yard - the rooster crowed every morning! I actually kind of liked it. I also recall the neighbor boy across the street (about 5) that knocked on our door early one morning because he left the house and got locked out. His parents were passed out and didn't hear us pounding on the doors and windows. I left a note on their door I had their kid. When he came to collect the boy and I explained, he just acted like it was no big deal. WTF? We lived on Lisle Ave. btw.[/quote]
