[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you will be happier in the suburbs. PP's suggestions of Burke, Springfield, and Centreville were on-point with your price range. You aren't going to get walkable to the metro, safe, and good schools in your price range. [/quote] +1[/quote] That was our price range (450k-two teacher salaries) and we ended up in Centreville. I like it more than I thought I would and we are very happy with our zoned elementary school, but do really miss the walkable urban thing. When you need good schools and a safer neighborhood in that price range though, you have to give up something. It worked out decently for us b/c we both left our DCPS teaching positions and now work for FCPS. I really enjoyed my DCPS students but the commute was just too much from the distant burbs. Housing prices are one of the many reasons why it is hard for DCPS to recruit and keep good teachers. IMO.[/quote]
