[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer Franklin Sherman because the school is right behind Bank of America, within walking distance to Giant, Safeway, downtown Mclean, etc...  I don't like Churchill because it is so close to Ball Hills road and it is kinda dangerous in the morning with so much traffics.  The same goes with Chesterbrook.  There are so many cars using Kirby road to get to Dolley Madison or Turkey Run in the morning to get to DC.  Franklin Sherman does not have this problem.

Other than traffics issue, churchill/Cooper/Langley or Chesterbrook/LongFellow/Mclean are both good.  I would lean toward Langley because the school is under capacity and it will be done with the renovation in a year or so.  Langley is a beautiful school and in the Langley school district, there are no apartments or townhouses.  Mclean HS has to take kids from Falls Church area so it might not be as good.

You have a problem that most people envy[/quote]

That's kind of a screwy post.  Franklin Sherman is about 85% McLean,15% Langley, but you favor Langley.

But if you pick something zoned for Langley, you also go to Cooper, which is eveb closer to Balls Hill Road than Churchill Road, but you don't like the traffic there.

And, the Langley district does include some townhouses, and the Falls Church neighborhoods that McLean "has to take" add some diversity that reduces the "affluenza" concerns that some have about Langley.

As PP said, better to just go with the house/commute that make the most sense and not overthink this based on logic that may be internally inconsistent.

[b]Not familiar with Balls Hills Rd. Is it a bad neighborhood?

I am afraid of “affluenza”. Never heard that term before. [/quote]

A "bad neighborhood"?  Hardly.   :lol:  And "affluenza" is simply a term people use when they don't like wealthy people, simply because they're wealthy.  [/quote]
