[quote=Anonymous]Contrary to popular belief there are quite a few young non-black non-latino families living in the Ft. Washington and Accokeek area and we are one of them.  We see them in the grocery stores, at daycare, at the YMCA etc.   If you are not a resident you have no clue.  Most are utilizing affordable Catholic schools (aka less than $12k a year and with a $300k single family home with 4 bedrooms yes it can be less than your FFX mortgage).   Check those school stats and you will see 10-15% white enrollment in some cases.   I too work in the Dulles area (well Herndon) and I do get to work in an hour on a typical day....I have to be at work by 9:30 to 10am so I do not know if the time you leave makes the difference.   Where you live in Ft. Washington makes the difference also...my family leave closest to the beltway which makes it faster.  I am over the bridge within 5-10 minutes typically...the worst part of the commute is getting past the Annandale and 66 exit until you get to Tysons and then open road again.  It is a great reverse commute that was better before all the current construction around Gallows Rd exits etc.   
We haven't faced any issues living here (no we have not had any crime happen near us) and enjoy a diverse community of many cultures including Black, Latino, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, Thai and Middle Eastern.   Everyone in my neighborhood may vary in hue however they are all educated professional hard working families who want the best for their kids just like everyone else and were drawn by how much home and land you could get for the money and the proximity to NoVa and DC.[/quote]
