[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burke? That makes no sense. Why should both couples have a crappy commute? [/quote]

I think we're getting sidetracked by Burke.  It was just one suggestion.  You could get more for your money and still decent schools.

I honestly think somewhere in the middle between Ashburn and DC is the answer.  OP, your budget will not buy you much in Vienna/Tysons area, but I honestly believe it is your best option for quality of life.

Now if someone is willing to take a commuter bus downtown and doesn't mind at least an hour commute, that might open up more areas.  I really just can't imagine a downtown commute from Ashburn.  Reston would be stretching my limits.

We live in Chantilly area, and the people I know who work downtown either take an hour and a half on public transport or leave at the buttcrack of dawn to get there.  You could get a lovely home in our neighborhood for under your budget, but I honestly wouldn't suggest it for the everyday commute to downtown.  It only worked for us because neither of us commutes downtown.[/quote]
