[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the areas mentioned can be pricey. For bang for your buck try Mantua area in fairfax. Near dunn lorIng metro/orange line and up gallows to tysons. Close to 495, rt 50, and 66. Pyramid is Mantua ES (Which is a success by 8 school with AAP), Frost MS, and Woodson HS.[/quote]

We live in Mantua and it's been a great fit for us. We have one kid in AAP and one in the regular program and I feel the school does a terrific job of addressing the needs of both kids. If both children had been STEM stars I would have opted for Haycock as I understand the STEM emphasis in their AAP program is terrific, but I think the AAP program there also dwarfs the regular program in size and has a bit of a reputation as a pressure cooker, so it might not have been as good a fit for my non AAP kid.
It also helped that we were able to find a really nice house for about 300k less than it would have cost in McLean  :-)[/quote]

OP here -- you all have been super helpful, thank you so much!  It sounds like the Mantua area and the Haycock area would both be great for schools and for our commute.  Now can anyone recommend a good agent for either or both neighborhoods?  We'll also need to sell our home in Merrifield, so we need someone who can help us with both buying and selling.

Thanks![/quote]
