[quote=Anonymous]At that budget I would buy a house that feeds into Sangster, if you can find it.

After that, any of the schools are fine and all of the areas will likely have many SAH parents.  If you buy near military, most of the SAH parents will be educated and/or former professionals.  Find the house you love and buy there. Schools are equal and similar quality.  Ones that I have heard very good things about and that I know have great parents and neighborhood are all the ones lining Keene Mill Rd. (West Springfield, Orange Hunt, Hunt Valley, Cherry Run, etc) plus White Oaks, Kings Park and Kings Glen.  The Kings Park/Glen neighborhoods are mostly within walking distance of Lake Braddock, so families will often walk to the school for games and Homecoming parades, etc.

I know a of a few SAH dads in Burke and Springfield but not too many.

All of the pools are the center of the neighborhoods out there.  Are you kids competitive swimmers/divers or recreational/social?  Different pools have different levels of competitiveness with their teams and different personalities to their pool culture.  Hunt Valley Pool is exceptionally strong. Others are more fun/recreational.

I have heard that there are fewer SAH parents, younger families and laid back neighborhoods the closer you get to Fairfax Station, and the farther you get from the West Springfield and central parts of Burke, but that is just hearsay.  Someone from that neck of the woods might have different information that would be helpful to you.  The houses are very nice out that way though.

Good luck house hunting.  It really is a great area to raise a family!  Welcome!
