[quote=Anonymous][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]

You would not be poor at Langley.  You’d be average.

In 2022, a $1.1-1.2M housing budget means you're below-average economically in the Langley HS district.

But someone has to be, as there's always a distribution.  The Langley district is spread out and I don't think people are spending much time keeping tabs on who lives in the more affordable areas, which in Langley's case means (1) western Great Falls near Loudoun, (2) the Vienna neighborhoods off Route 7, and (3) the Kings Manor townhouses in McLean.  Teaching your kids they can't always have everything some other kid has is a valuable lesson. [/quote]

DP.  You are correct that no one who actually goes to Langley thinks about or talks about the wealth of their peers.  Curiously, that seems to be the sole purview of people whose kids go to school elsewhere.  [/quote]

This is so true! I was afraid of affluenza and drugs because of DCUM. I didn’t actually know anyone in the Langley area as we are DMV transplants.

My kids have a ton of friends who live by Kings Manor. We live in a big house on a large lot and I’m pretty sure my kids would prefer to live closer to Kings Manor where there are a ton of kids.

I think most of my kids’ friends are well off but not everyone is. We moved from a high FARMs area where most people didn’t travel for winter or spring break. In McLean, most everyone goes away. We always bump into classmates at the airport during both spring and winter break. My kids do have a few friends who live in modest homes and more modest lifestyles. They are well liked and no one cares. You never know who chooses no camp because of cost or because they prefer just going to the local pool all summer.[/quote]
