[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how many kids OP would need to be paying private school for. With 2 or more kids, I can see how someone could afford quite a lot of house but not be able to throw $100K+ in after-tax money at tuition.

I was thinking the list sounded like City of Falls Church.[/quote]

Exactly. OP here -- I have three kids, our budget is up to 1.5M I am ok with a fixer upper -- but simply cannot throw 100k a year at private, I'd rather stretch a little on my monthly mortgage[/quote]

Yeah op I'm not sure why your post went off the rails. It happens sometimes often for no good rhyme or reason. In my experience people seem to immediately jump to saying you can't afford to live close-in unless you have $2M which is absurd. Zero of my neighbors on my street paid even close to that much. Yes there are homes that cost that much, but I think folks are assuming everyone is looking for a new build 5 bedroom home. If you are flexible, and willing to live in an older home, there are options. You can certainly afford a suburb you will enjoy. I'm the arlington poster but agree that Falls Church City might meet your criteria well as well. My friends there are really happy as well.[/quote]
