[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in McLean - my home elementary was Franklin Sherman although I ended up at Haycock, most of my friends were kids who would've gone to Chesterbrook so I'm very familiar with all those neighborhoods and have been in and out of a lot of those houses.

OP - I don't think you can go wrong with any of those schools - haycock is a gifted magnet school, if your child goes to Franklin Sherman but tests gifted, you can place him at Haycock (if you get in).  All of these schools will be crowded, but all will also have very active and supportive PTA's that will help the schools with supply needs.

I think a good bet for you might be some of the older ramblers in the neighborhood surrounding Franklin Sherman (Salona Village) - it's easily walkable into McLean if you want to walk there, fairly easy commute into the city (123 to GW pkwy isn't bad from there), and those homes have really held their value over the years.  No, the house you can afford with that price range probably won't have many, if any, updates, but it will be a decent size, have a decent yard, and meet your other criteria.

Here's one, with an admittedly ugly kitchen, but it's $750k near Franklin Sherman, good lot, walkable to McLean.  I had a lot of friends who grew up in this neighborhood and it was a nice place to hang out when we were young and older.  http://www.redfin.com/VA/Mclean/1447-Waggaman-Cir-22101/home/9407082[/quote]

That house has been on the market for quite a while.

Great neighborhood, but I'm betting that this house may not have a level lot.  Usually, the houses in that area with level lots that go on sale get purchased by builders like Buchanan-Price and Tradition Homes.   [/quote]
