[quote=Anonymous]We only have one DC and want to move closer to the city (we live in Oakton) for proximity to work and for a somewhat more urban lifestyle. DH thinks that north Arlington would shave off about half an hour from his commute. We are a small family and actually want LESS house, unlike most of our neighbors in the Oakton area. So, yes, we do realize that we will be getting a smaller house for more money than we are paying currently but that is fine with us--bigger is not always better in our perspective. Don't exactly want a fixer-upper at this point in our lives so ideally the new home would already have some basic renovations if it is older. 3 bedrooms and a small fenced yard for our dog would be nice. A bedroom and full bath on the 1st floor would be ideal so we can age in place but we know that might be hard to find. The ability to walk to neighborhood amenities would also be nice. A low crime area is another key priority since DH travels often and I am often alone with DC. We can go up to $1 mill. but hope not to have to. If you know the Arlington area well, where do you suggest we should start looking? please name specific neighborhoods so I can look them up on real estate websites. I have also posted on the VA public schools forum to inquire about specific schools/neighborhoods. Thanks in advance![/quote]
