[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just buy a new house in Marshall district. No worries with revisions or home emergencies until the kids get older. Short move and comparable schools.[/quote]

Where are new homes in the Marshall district?! All I see is old. [/quote]

If you want a better commute, you don't want Great Falls or Madison HS district.  If you're spending $1.5mm, you don't want Pimmit Hills.  If you're used to the space and small-town feel of Vienna, you don't want 'close-in' Arlington.  If your DH won't consider MD, well, that's obvious.  If you're looking for neighborhood-y feel, lots of McLean, but certainly not all, is out.

I think that leaves you City of Falls Church, Country Club Hills & surrounding area in Arlington, Franklin Park (probably out of range at $1.5mm) / Chesterbrook Woods / Kent Gardens areas of McLean.  I'm sure I'm missing some, but those are all good choices.  I agree w/ PP who said FCC is closest to Town of Vienna in small-town feel ... though local commerce/"walkability" has lots of room for improvement.[/quote]
