[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For free schools ARlington near Ballston metro should work for your price.  If you are a good shopper and move in the school year, maybe even closer in. Walk to metro and both of you should be to work in [b]40 minutes[/b] door to door. Alt, drive in together early, you park on the hill and the other metro downtown.  [/quote]

Is this a joke? The Metro ride from Ballston to Metro Center at rush hour is just over ten minutes. Add the roughly ten minute walk to the station, and the commute is just slightly longer than capitol hill to drown.

Arlington is fine. But if the OP loves Capitol Hill, then I think she has her mind all set! [/quote]

OP here: Don't really have my heart set on anywhere. Mainly looking to end the long commute and have an option we can use for public for at least the elementary years. Where we are currently, I am not willing to use the public school and I've toured the privates that take children for a full day pre-school with before and after care and I'm just so-so on most of them.

That said, we looked in Clarendon and Pentagon City ages ago when we first bought and my H couldn't really fit in a lot of the houses. He's 6'7" and it seemed much of the living space was in finished basements with 6' or 6'5" ceilings, washer/dryers tucked under even shorter areas and many with closets and showers built into eaves on the top floors where he couldn't stand up. Perhaps we didn't look in the right areas, but 7 years ago when we were looking our budget was $600K and that's what we saw for that price point. [/quote]
