[quote=Anonymous]Np here, and we live in Alexandria near Old Town and have a HHI of $250k, three kids ages 2, 5, 7. It's very hard. We live check to check and every month is a crapshoot over which bill will not get paid. Childcare costs are outrageous here. And even public school aftercare can cost over $600/month for two kids. Alexandria City schools are not good. There are maybe three decent schools, and one is in Old Town (Lyles Crouch). To be zoned for that school you should expect to pay a minimum of $800k for a small-ish row house with 2-3 bedrooms. If you want to live in a good school district close to DC/Old town for your housing budget, you will need to move further out, like Lorton, Annandale, Fairfax. We desperately need a 4 bedroom home but simply cannot afford to move out of our $800k shoebox for a $1m fixer-upper with 4 bedrooms. Unfortunately, DH and I both work in the city, so we need to be close in. [/quote]
