[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people knock South Arlington schools.  If moving weren't such a big hassle, I would sell my N. Arlington house and move to S. Arlington in a heartbeat.  I bet you could find a single family in South Arlington on your budget.   [/quote]

It'd actually be very hard to find a nice SFH in South Arl for less than 700. You could, but there will def be something odd about the house that you'll just have to live with, and it'll be right at 700 when all is said and done.

If you want to be zoned to an elementary school that isn't over 60 percent disadvantaged, in south Arlington, you'll pay more. Arlington county board has been stuffing affordable housing into one corner of the county for several years and the schools that serve the SW corner really struggle. Valiant efforts by the teachers, an if my parents had brought me to this country from poverty in another country it'd be as good as it gets. But ithey aren't schools with strong PTAs or many of the niceties that are a given in north Arlington.
