[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the Franconia/Rose Hill/Cleremont area.  There are a LOT of ranch houses in this area that were built in the 1950s/60s.  They're not big but typically have large lots with big trees.  We'd love to have a bigger house but on our income, we had to choose between a large house and a reasonable commute. We chose commute - that was 16 years ago before we had kids.  After we had kids, it was clear that reasonable commute was the right choice for us. After our kids were diagnosed with SNs, it was even more clear.  Of course, these are neighborhoods and houses that many people turn their noses up at.  But, we're really happy with it.  After the journey we've been on,  I don't care what people think about my choices, my neighborhood, my house, my kids' school.  As a PP noted, if you don't like the little ranch houses, there are also a lot of townhouses available in your price range.

We've also been happy with the schools.  The challenges we've had with IEPs/services are common throughout FCPS.  Some years getting the appropriate IEP is easy, some years it's not. We've been very happy with the quality of teachers.  The reports we've heard about special ed/SN environment Mark Twain MS have uniformly been positive.  We've not heard much about special ed/SN environment at Edison HS but our neighbors are really happy with Edison.[/quote]

op here wow thanks for the detailed response. we are not looking for anything big just something convenient . Quick question should I be worried about the lead in older homes built before 1978 is it something that I have to check? I would love a cute ranch home I noticed a lot of them only have ONE bath is this the norm?[/quote]
