[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has to be the same OP who complained they can’t ever take a vacation or fix up their because they have put all their money in savings and retirement and refuse to spend it. [/quote]

OP here.  Not us, but it sounds like us.  Cheap/thrifty. Can't spend $$ unless we truly need to.

and by the way - I never said DC proper.  Or any specific place.  Where we are looking is around Centreville/Chantilly.  that is where the parochial schools are where we are sending our kids.[/quote]

We live in Herndon and there are houses available for $800,00 with yards, maybe not 1/2 an acre. There are properties available out this way that would suit your needs. You are being too picky. [/quote]

The half acre is the issue, just did a redfin search for .5 acre and there's nothing, but switched filter to .25 acre and there's options. The yards still appear plenty large with the home not crowded in by a nearby neighbor. Not sure why the hangup with a half acre, perhaps check out some with a slightly smaller lot footprint?

One example:

A half acre is spreading homes apart to a "rural" level; homes in suburbia are closer apart than this and generally have been unless you're going realllly far back. The house I grew up in in suburbia CT were closer to other homes than this in the 80s (but not in the 50s when my parents bought it before the area got built up). The house my DH grew up in in suburbia NJ was closer to other homes than this, but again, some of the neighbor homes weren't there back in the 60/70s's when his parents bought it and filled in over time.
