[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any neighborhood along the orange line that you like will have good schools. If your DH's office is near the VRE station in DC (Union Station?) than you have even more options.[/quote]

Best schools along Orange Line are in East Falls Church (Yorktown), West Falls Church (McLean and Marshall) or Vienna (Madison).[/quote]

Since when in Yorktown in EFC?[/quote]

Yorktown is not physically in EFC, but the EFC area feeds to Yorktown. Generally people are more concerned with what schools their kids will GO to rather than what schools are technically in their neighborhood.  [/quote]

EFC refers to Metro stop. Much of the immediate area is in Arlington County and not Falls Church City.[/quote]

Actually, East Falls Church is also the name of the Arlington neighborhood near the metro stop.  It is zoned for Yorktown High School.  The school is in a different neighborhood but not more than a couple of miles away.  Arlington has a population of around 200,000 and there are only 4 high schools, so most kids are by definition going to go to a high school that is not right in their neighborhood.  It's not an issue.

I actually think the EFC area is great.  It's largely walkable to metro and your money goes a bit further than in the rest of north Arlington. Yorktown is widely considered the most desirable high schools in the area.  I'm not looking to debate whether it really is better than some others, but suffice it to say your kids won't get a bad education there and your property will hold its value.  [/quote]
