[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:03 here. We've gotten pretty off track from the original question - can you be in any of the listed Fairfax school districts and be within half a mile of metro. Question wasn't comparing the school systems.

[b]OP I think the answer for Mclean/Langley is not really. [/b]Most probably drive in I would guess. Vienna there are some neighborhoods right near the metro, but most people probably still drive and park in the lot there. You might be able to find a house RIGHT off Nutley though and do it. There are townhouses RIGHT next to the Vienna metro that are really easy if you wanted a townhouse. All the other schools I think the vast majority would be driving to metro, parking in lot and then getting on. [/quote]

This isn't true - there are tons of houses walking distance to West Falls Church that feed to Haycock/Longfellow/McLean.

This is on a busy road but otherwise fits the bill: https://www.redfin.com/school/53790/VA/Falls-Church/Haycock-Elementary-School

There are a few townhouses that could work too.

I live in the area - we're a 5-8 minute walk to West Falls Church metro (probably 1/4 mile). DS goes to Haycock and we can also walk to all the amenities of Falls Church City. It's a great location.[/quote]

Sorry in my previous post I did say that around west falls church was a good option and I agree. Was thinking of other parts of McLean and the McLean station for this post. [/quote]

There are some townhouses and single-family houses on small lots within walking distance to the McLean Metro, which is basically the east end of Tysons. Not as many as within walking distance to West Falls Church.[/quote]
