[quote=Anonymous]We have lived in Burke for 10+ years- military move originally, ended up staying. We like the mix of people here- for our kids , having other kids around who moved a lot made it easier to make friends. 
There's a good mix of housing here in your price range: colonials, split levels, ranches, townhouses. A lot from the 70's and early 80's and then some more recent infill in various places. I am seeing a number of original owners in my neighborhood selling their homes to retire to warmer places, so those houses are coming on the market. Some of these have already been updated and will command a higher price; some have not, so you might get a better deal if you are willing to do some renovation.
We have been very happy with the schools here. Lake Braddock is big, but a very good school and is the middle school GT center for the area, if that matters to you. The families here care about education, so there tends to be a lot of parent involvement in the schools.

We love Burke. I actually prefer Burke to Burke Centre, only because Burke Centre HOA's can be very restrictive about any decorative changes you might want to make to your house. Some people find that a plus though, so it depends what you like.
