[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really confused about the Waynewood recommendations.  That feeds into West Potomac High School, which is no where near the same league as the schools the OP posted!! It's pretty bad. It's also the same school that Belleview would go to. Also confused about Kingstowne and Ft. Belvoir recommendations.  Seriously, who would want to live in these areas unless they had  to because they worked at Ft Belvoir!?  I don't have any suggestions (sorry OP!) but I really hope the OP gets something more along the lines of what she's looking for.  There have to be some more affordable areas in some of the better school districts![/quote]

Consider any advice from this board is going to be of the "short commute above safety and schools" vein, and barring that it will be "recommend what's nice and familiar."

With a job in SE DC, I am puzzled why anyone would suggest places along the I-270 corridor, seeing as that violates the "20 minute commute or your life is shit" mantra so often repeated on this board. 
IMO, Washington Navy Yard wouldn't be a good commute for the good school clusters along the I-270 corridor unless OP's husband is willing to get in a longer Metro-based commute.

WePo isn't a bad school but if OP is going to be a school snob, it won't work. West Springfield and Woodson are however a 20-30 minute longer commute.

With that said, OP ought to be able to find something in the Woodson zone in her price range, and certainly something in West Springfield.

I will disagree with the "who would want to live in these areas" statement, they are perfectly nice suburban areas. [/quote]
