[quote=Anonymous]I think you're really asking the impossible - SFH, newer construction, 3BR, easy commute to Foggy Bottom, and reasonable schools - all under $350k?? Something's gotta give. If I were you, I'd start with the size - if you really can't change your budget and you don't want a horrendous commute, you should look at 2BR options in NoVa whereever the schools / commute mix seems right. And whatever you choose, you need to accept that on your budget, you're not going to get new construction in any kind of close-in area. And definitely focus your search on VA. I'm in MoCo and spent a few years working in Foggy Bottom. No one at, say, the State Dept lives in MD - they all are in DC or VA because the commute is much better. If you need to get to MD, you either have to switch metro lines, or else drive through the city, and it's really slow. I know one person who commuted from PG County, and he literally never saw his kids. [/quote]
