[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those are two very different communities and your housing budget would place you in very different social places - you’d be rich at Chantilly and poor at Langley. What are your other priorities?[/quote]

I hear you. May be that’s the reason I want to move to GF. 
We are an Asian couple and part of me wants to transition to that social strata.

DH is afraid to make that transition. [b]I want kids to have that taste of a different social  circle.[/b] My personal belief is that you become what group you are part of. We combined make around 275K and I am sure we would be in lower spectrum at Langley.

Please enlighten or correct me if my way of thinking is wrong. 
Is there a different lens I should be looking through as well?[/quote]

So, we earned about $230k combined when we first moved to GF and there were a lot of other families like us (i.e. dual feds or some combination like that).  While we were probably in the “lower” spectrum in terms of income, it really wasn’t an issue.  My kids made friends and have had a great education.  As far as social circles go, your children don’t have to hang out with other Asian kids — their friend group will be whatever club, sport or activity they are involved in.  The only downside I can think of is there are a lot of high-achievers at the school, so it will be hard to stand out when you are searching for colleges to go to.[/quote]
