[quote=Anonymous]Bowie town center is very nice.  Heather Hills is probably the top school in that area for elementary.  Look it up... scores are great and it is a TAG center.   For HS, you'd definitely have to do private.  Bowie/Mitchellville has some nice areas, but you might want to live a little further out.

I actually live close to Burke/Springfield, but I'm thinking you probably should not live in this are if you think your husband's work location is going to stay in Bowie/Crofton for a LONG time.  Better to be close for school activities, sick calls, dr. apptmts, etc.  If you think his location might change, then it's worth considering West Springfield.

The public schools in City of Alex./Fort Hunt are not what you are going to be impressed with.  People send their kids to private when they live in Old Town.  The Rt. 1 corridor is unfortunately a lot of apartments and lower income units.  The best in that area -- which might work for you -- is Waynewood (and there is another elementary that starts with an "S" -- can't remember the name), down south of Ft. Hunt, in the Mt. Vernon area.  This might work for the commutes.  But, truthfully, you'll get a lot more house further out in Md. [/quote]
