[quote=Anonymous]to folks who have a budget of say $500k in Northern VA? 1. Lower RE taxes in Fairfax City. 2. Schools are comparable -- Both get 8 on GS. Fairfax is much smaller. Robinson does have a 50-point edge in SAT scores however. 3. Fairfax is much more accessible to transit, with the CUE buses getting folks on the Metro, and both run throughout the day. Burke has the VRE which runs only during regular commuting hours. 4. You have a small downtown area in Fairfax that lets some areas have walkscores in the 70s and 80s. Burke? Many fewer places with such walkscores. 5. Access to GMU and sporting/entertainment events, many parts of the city are on the edge of walkable to GMU. Burke, not so much. 6. Easier access to big box utopia of Fair Lakes and Fair Oaks Mall. It does seem the DCUM life is easier to live in Fairfax City than in Burke. [/quote]
