[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op google "carderock springs" and "mid century homes".  You'll be in heaven there.  It's in the Bethesda area, near the Potomac [/quote]

that area is so fugly but if you want that in N va Lake Barcroft is the place to be and with the lake a hidden gem.  [/quote]

That schools district is horrible and the housing prices are taking hits from it.[/quote]

In Lake Barcroft?  The schools have always sucked and the prices are not taking a hit.  You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and you have never been there.  [/quote]

Stuart used to be considered one of the elite public high schools in NoVa.  That changed in the 1980s with the aging of the original homeowners and the influx of Hispanic immigrants.

There's still a lot of wealth in the Lake Barcroft/Sleepy Hollow area.  It's more affluent than any part of the Town of Vienna or City of Falls Church, and the homes are nice.  But the home prices are definitely lower than they'd be if they fed into schools with fewer ESOL and low-income kids.  Some of the more affluent parents send their kids to privates, but others are just fine with the local schools.   Generalizations about how the schools "suck" are what some people who live in places with really ugly housing say when they want to convince people it's a great idea to pay $500K or more to live in their neighborhood.
