[quote=Anonymous]We actively looked for about a year in Arlington for a house in the $560-600K range in the good schools and were unsuccessful. It was really depressing-most of the houses in that price range were either very small or needed a lot of work. There were nice houses in S. Arlington for that price but we didn't want to be in Wakefield High School. Finally, we decided to look in Vienna because the schools are wonderful in Vienna, and found a beautiful home in our price range in about two weeks. We're very, very happy here, and felt so relieved to have given up on Arlington. If you don't commute to D.C., and other parts of Fairfax County are close to where you work, I highly recommend looking in Vienna. However, if you commute to D.C., then it would be a much longer commute than Arlington. If you both commute together and can do HOV, Vienna to D.C. wouldn't be too bad. I had a seminar in D.C. for a week, and was driving alone so I couldn't do HOV-it took me about 1 hour 10 minutes at rush hour, coming home took longer on a couple of days. [/quote]
