Fairfax County is not all that, if you have lived elsewhere.

More good places to live there than anywhere else in DC area.  [/quote]

For many not so much when you add commute to the equation.  The OP's original list was a list of places that are a good commute into DC.  Not just okay, but reasonable on a daily basis for people working normal hours in their offices.  There are places I like in Fairfax County, my mom lives there (I did not grow up around here, she moved to this area when I was in college), but she also has always worked in NOVA.  I have always worked in downtown DC.  I live in NW DC in a desirable neighborhood because it has h list above.

Gentrification takes time and a lot has happened over the past 10-15 years.  But most people with choices will not take a chance with their children's education and a higher mortgage is often more affordable than private school.  IMHO, that is why it is so hard to "turn" a school from bad to acceptable to good.  It is hard to build a consistent cohort when parents are making decisions in the immediate best interests of their children, and I cannot blame them as I would do he same.[/quote]
