[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP check 22205. You might be able to find something for 1.2. It's not the best school district though. You could also buy a tear down in 22207 for $550k and then build. I've had neighbors do it and total cost is around $900k for average fixtures.  [/quote]

Mckinley Elem is in 22205 and it ranked number one in terms of advanced students on the state's standardized tests in Northern Va. My point is that it's not always easy to define schools by zip codes, especially as zip codes and school boundaries are not the same. The areas in Arlington and Falls Church the OP is considering all have good schools, and the original post said nothing about finding the best school. The further north in Arlington you go, and in the historic neighborhoods close to the Metro Orange line, the houses tend to be the most expensive and the schools tend to be the most sought after. And most all of those homes would be out of your range for newer construction. But if you're willing to do a teardown/rebuild of a small house on a decently sized lot, as the PP recommended, it might be worth it to stretch your budget.[/quote]
