[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but we are considering a move out of North Arlington as our landlord is selling and it's time to bite the bullet and buy. I may still need to drive into the city once or twice a week, so I'm trying to stay no more than an hour away. Ideally, we'd like to be in the 800 range - 3 bed minimum - and a house that doesn't need serious cosmetic upgrades...which may put us out of luck in FFX? We have two small children so good public school elementary is a must (although I'm less concerned about MS/HS now). We'd love a community feel - kids running around - pools, clubs, etc. And, it would be nice if there is some retail within a mile so we can walk or bike to things. A "city center" or "old town" feel that isn't just chain restaurants would be a huge bonus ;) Is this a unicorn? Do these neighborhoods exist? We've driven around West Springfield and parts of it are nice, as well as Kings Park West - but inventory is low and price range challenging. Same with Annandale. Any other ideas?? Thoughts on Ashburn? Burke? Haymarket? Gainesville? Leesburg? [/quote] You're describing the Ft Hunt area of Fairfax. Great elementary schools with neighborhoods centered around community pools. The middle and high school options are more questionable [/quote]
