[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oakton High School is WALKING distance from Vienna Metro. There are 2,000-sq-feet townhomes ALL around there for $500,000-$700,000. [/quote]

Agreed, there are townhomes I don't think that was ever disputed. My post said there are townhomes right next to Vienna metro, but OP is talking about a million + budget, it doesn't sound like she's looking for a townhome. Further, according to googlemaps Oakton high school is an 18 minute walk and .9 miles which isn't what OP was asking for. There are a bunch of single family homes right off Nutley that I mentioned, but when you really get down to it it's about a mile. Vienna is great, I genuinely really like Vienna. I just don't think there are a ton of houses that meet what she's looking for which is a hard ask in the suburbs.

I feel like this is turning into a match between fairfax and arlington per usual and I just don't know why this has to be. The OP is asking for the ability to walk easily to the metro, in a three bedroom house on a small lot for about a million. It sounds like Arlington is more likely the vibe she's going for. That doesn't mean anything is wrong with Fairfax!

OP rest assured people will be more helpful when you arrive and this angst between fairfax and arlington is far more prominent on DCUM then anywhere else. Everyone is usually pretty happy where they live here actually, you're just seeing that different families prioritize different things. [/quote]
