[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to stay below $5000, my husband may say more but I disagree and think that's a good price. I'd rather not break the bank. Right now I'm for private, but I'd go for public if it's good. She's only 2, but from what I can gather about the DC area you need to think about your education choices sooner rather than later. Traffic is a big deal for me, especially coming from a place with 70 mph highways and traffic jams lasting no longer than 15-20 mins. I'd prefer to be closer to wherever the school is. As I'm home during the day I can get a lot of errand type stuff done while most folks are working. As for my husband he flys a a lot so if it's a hassle to get back and forth from the airport he can use a car service. I've never used public transportation so I plan on sticking with my truck. No real deal breakers with the house. I understand that the DC area only has so much room to expand, while NC has a ton of room to grow. It would be nice to have a 2 car attached garage and a somewhat updated kitchen. [/quote]

Where will your husband be going when he is not flying? If he is flying less than 1-2x a month I wouldn't even consider that in my calculations.

Good public schools are the rule not the exception in Northern Virginia and Maryland (minus Prince George's and Baltimore City.)

Traffic gets bad around rush hour in Leesburg but during the rest of the day it's not bad at all. Some parts of Fairfax it's bad from 6am to 10pm.

If you will explicitly rule out public transit, then no point in living closer in unless your husband's commute becomes two hours. [/quote]
