[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks for the input.  Glad to hear good things about Chantilly.  I'm sorry to say it, but I wonder if Vienna is overrated?[/quote]

Even though I live in Chantilly, I wouldn't say that.  I think Vienna is good if you need access to metro and/or work downtown.  I do like the small town feel of it - something you don't get a lot of in this area.  But, I also adored Reston and lots of people think it is a wasteland - what do I know?

Again, I think only you know what will make you happy.  To us, finding a nice neighborhood with good schools and walkable amenities that didn't give one or the other of us a hellish commute was what led us to our decision.  There were other areas where we might have found a house in our price range in better regarded HS pyramids, but they were in areas that made NO sense commute wise.  Why do that to ourselves for a house that may or may not stay districted to the higher rated HS (because the current student body has 50-100 pt higher average SAT scores), anyway?  Does Chantilly put us pretty far from "the action"?  Yes, but it made sense for our lives.  Why make your daily lives miserable just for the priviledge of saying you live in a "better" zip code or HS area?[/quote]
