[quote=Anonymous]Over $150k and "comfortable" is relative. Townhouses aren't that cheap in Reston - its not like you are buying in Iowa. It's still DC Metro prices... We found more than real estate it's the other costs of this area that add up. we have student loans, daycare and healthcare is expensive. Add in food, gas, utilities, phone, cable, transportation (daily metro to DC adds up outside the bektway), cars, insurance, clothes, home repairs (something will break) and basics like hair cuts, toys, diapers, etc. (oh, and taxes...) not much left over. Maybe you are super thrifty? After everything is said and done we have no energy for DIY or hunting for coupons...We live in a very modest townhouse out in MD burbs. Yes, our mortgage is less than our 1 bedroom rental in Arlington. But, living here is still not cheap.[/quote]
