YES but it is cheper to rebuild, you won't run into issues with the old house, you aren't constrained by the old house, you can put BUILT IN 2011 on the record for sale etc... the last is the most important for resale[/quote]

True, but not all Arlington houses are tear downs. Especially if you spend 1 mill+ for a vintage 4 bedroom 1920s colonial revival or tudor in Lyon Village. In fact it would be a sin to tear down many of those old homes. And some Arlington neighborhoods that are historic districts like Maywood prohibit exterior alterations/teardowns. Unless it's a small, undistinguished house, families don't move to those neighborhoods to tear down homes. And in some neighborhoods like Dominion Hills (where there are no tear downs), the families that move there like the character of the small attractive homes that lend value to the neighborhood.

To answer the OP's question: In the Alexandria part of Fairfax County look into the schools that feed into West Potomac HS. You can purchase brand new 4 bedroom homes for under 800k in that area. Just look on Redfin. On this forum most believe that that school pyramid is the best in Alexandria. [/quote]
