[quote=Anonymous]Reston/Herndon area?  With the metro coming to Reston, commutes from that area are going to change a bit/get better.

We had a very similar budget in summer 2011 and looked in Stuart Ridge (Armstrong ES) and Fox Mill - did not wind up buying there, but good neighborhoods close to the new metro line (and current bus to WFC metro).  You might also consider the following school zones: Crossfield, Aldrin and Oak Hill.  Another perk in that area is being close to both a magnet school (Hunters Woods) and several immersion options (Lake Anne, Fox Mill and Herndon), although those are lottery admission and not guaranteed, although living within the school zone puts you in a better position.

If you are willing to come a little further down the Parkway, Lees Corner and Greenbriar (which is where our family wound up) are also good areas, although the commute to DC would be a bit more difficult than further north on the FFX County Parkway closer to the Toll Road/new metro line.  My neighbor commutes to downtown by both carpool and by bus (on the days the carpool friend is sick).  She says it takes just about an hour.

Burke isn't a bad suggestion, either.  Depends on where exactly your downtown commute goes to, though - VRE does have limitations.  And Dulles would be farther.

Definitely check out Fairfax City, too, as the above poster suggested.[/quote]
