[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, in terms of value, you're probably not going to lose your shirt on anything inside the beltway with good schools--this includes all of McLean, Falls Church city, and North Arlington. You may want to avoid the parts of Falls Church that are in Fairfax County, as the schools there tend to have higher numbers of lower-income kids, which some people think makes them not as good. I disagree, and you can often get a bigger/nicer for your money in those areas, but it's up to you.  But I don't think splitting hairs between small neighborhoods in McLean makes sense, especially at your price range. Decent houses under $800K are few and far between in that whole area, and if you hold out for one neighborhood you could be waiting a long time for the right thing.  Remember you do have to live in this house, so you have to balance your desire to live in the "right" neighborhood with the things that you will enjoy day to day--a good layout, a pleasant kitchen, nice play space, enough bathrooms, etc.[/quote]

Schools in Falls Church/22043 in Fairfax County (for example, Haycock ES, Longfellow MS, Marshall HS) have equal or higher scores than the schools in North/Central Arlington (for example, Washington-Lee and some of its feeder schools).  So, honestly OP and PP,  if you're OK with North/Central Arlington, you should probably be more than OK with the West Falls Church area of Fairfax County.

PP here.  I was mostly talking about the Yorktown pyramid in Arlington, but I think west falls church area is great too. I can just tell by OP's posts that it's probably not going to be what she's looking for. [/quote]
