[quote=Anonymous]I agree with all the advice to focus on the lot overall since they’re all good/similar enough schools. But I’ll add 2 cents of personal experience.

I have a child at Tuckahoe and we’ve been really happy there. My kid has had some really great teachers.

Also, I like living in the area around here. Depending on where you are, you can be walkable to a lot of parks/trails/EFC metro/Westover shops. You’re also close enough to go into FCC frequently. Lots are smaller, but I like that things around me are mostly a denser grid with sidewalks. Some areas farther north in the county can be hilly/windy and closer to big nature centers than shopping/amenities. Which can be very pretty and give you a lot of seclusion right close to DC vs denser lots with less privacy.

Personally I don’t mind being on a 6k sq ft lot close to a lot of homes because I like socializing with neighbors and seeing lots of dog walkers and kids out playing etc. But you may prefer a 10k sq ft lot on a cul de sac. Only you know what works best for your family. [/quote]
