[quote=Anonymous]Hi all .... my husband and I are in the process of buying our first house.  After doing some basic math we realized that spending $3500 on rent is ridiculous and we should just buy.  Unfortunately we have only been out of grad school and working for 2-3 year and don't have a ton of money saved up for a down payment.  So we are looking to put down only around 5%.

We are looking for a house in the $600,000-$700,000 range that have relatively good elementary schools in Northern Virginia.  We don't currently have kids yet but are TTC now and fingers crossed will be pregnant before we move.  We are hoping to close in the fall.

Could people tell me about the Fort Hunt area?  Do you like it out there?  We looked passively at McLean and North Arlington but realized that we would never get the house we wanted for our budget. Ideally we would like a SFH that is relatively done and doesn't need major renovations.  Are there any other areas you would suggest other than the Fort Hunt area?

We would prefer not to be more than 15 miles outside of the city.  Thanks for your thoughts![/quote]
