[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At $3500/month, you could rent at Cherry Hill apartments in North Arlington- we lived there during a recent renovation and it was great.   Not on the metro but the bus service is super convenient and the apartments were so nice (large modern 3bedroom for that price).   I think the elementary school isTaylor.   [/quote]

Thanks for the feedback on Cherry Hill. Somehow the impression I got from reading about Taylor was it catered to a the rich, non-diverse base?

We are also not sure about the new school at Key site..Long branch, Glebe, Ashlawn? perhaps..[/quote]

I don’t know much about long branch, but I’d happily have my kids attend Ashland or Glebe or Taylor. Fwiw, if you come across McKinkey, the entire school is being moved to a new site called Reed at Westover. It’s a great area, and I’d love if my kid could go there. It will open in September.

If you are ok with an apartment, there’s Horizons East and West in 22207 and a bunch of Apartment buildings in 22201 north of Lee highway that are easily walkable to Courthouse Metro. One of them is called Potomac Towers.

[/quote] Thanks for these suggestions. I'll check it out. Trying to keep the commute within 45 mins to DC. [/quote]

My kids are in preschool so can't comment on Oakridge but the Pentagon City/Crystal City commute to L'Enfant is unbeatable.  Both VRE and metro are options, especially if your employer has a transit subsidy (otherwise VRE is $$).  You could also bike or run there in protected lanes on the Mount Vernon trail/14th street bridge.  [/quote]

We love Oakridge!  Very happy there- but I really think all APS schools are good.[/quote]
