[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different markets. FCC is significantly more expensive than Alexandria other than a few houses around Old Town.[/quote]

This, they are not exactly comparable markets.

Alexandria is largely middle class ranch/ramblers or just large apartment complexes, except for some pockets around Old Town.

Falls Church City has been one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the country for a long time. It’s uniformly wealthy and highly educated with one of the best school systems in the DMV. [/quote]

100% This. Alexandria is a good place for that good old backhome feeling. Falls Church is a town full of executives and highly successful individuals. It is McClean with charm / Bethesda with small-town feel without the challenges of a small town. People are friendly, it is incredibly safe and children do well. It just makes sense.

Falls Church is much more expensive but I know the services work. How many years and multi million dollar renovations has ACPS done without showing any improvements. Doubling down on the one school efforts is not the way to go. You can also send your kids to TJ.Despite all the 'investments' the students who were behind are no better off than they were a decade ago. Couple that with flooding, and declining services, you have a recipe for disaster.

If it wasn't for Amazon, I would say Alexandris is probably the worst inner suburban area in VA to possibly consider. [/quote]
