[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work remote, but will have to travel into NY/NJ at least once a month. A friend mentioned she takes Amtrak into Penn Station which I understand is a pricey option. I’ve looked into bussing and flights as alternative options.

I would love to be walking distance to the school unless the school has an option for school bus. Do they allow 4th graders to take the bus?

I am looking to enroll my child into a diverse school, as 1) we are a minority - Asian and 2) I want them to have exposure. 
  
At this point, since the summer is around the corner, I am trying not to be too picky since it is probably slim pickings but I do want a place that has at least 2 bedrooms, in unit full size laundry, parking, safe in a good school district ( 0 tolerance for school bullying), close to supermarkets and transit. Is that too much to ask? Lol.

Maybe doesn’t necessarily have to be in Arlington but does have to be accessible to the train and bus since I have to travel to NY/NJ. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Falls Church amd Fairfax County. How is it comparable to living in Arlington?

My husband wants a bigger place like a townhome, which I am okay with as long as it has my must haves. [b]I don’t want to spend over $3500[/b] for rent. We’re also in our early 40’s and over the nightlife and bar scene. [/quote]

Now, I’m the Pp who mentioned the Courthouse and Rosslyn neighborhoods to meet nearly all of your needs, except your budget needs. You will not be able to find a large place for that money, especially a townhouse - I rent my townhouse for twice that amount. You can try the Cortland apartments in Rosslyn, which would allow to walk Kiddo to school and walk to the bus station to New York but I two bedroom are from $3700 and up to $10,000. It is quite nice with lots of rich young professionals carrying around Dior/channel at times. It’s also very international. There’s a playground walking distance, Whole Foods is .75 miles up from there, and mom’s organic is walking distance as well. You’ll need 5k and up for a townhouse, occasionally, something may come up for 4500
