[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think we're pretty settled that if DH's job is in Rockville that we'd have to live on MD side. Google map traffic times made it look doable from VA, but I an trusting everyone who says that's nuts. Long term I think we prefer being in VA to MD so we were just trying to figure out if we could make one move and stay for the long haul (even after he changes jobs to something in DC for example). Still a good chance that he takes a different job in DC, though, so in that case VA would be our preference.

I'm not glued to Vienna. Without having the chance to see anything yet, I was attracted to the small town descriptions and the glowing write ups in places like Money Magazine plus the outdoor areas, walking paths, independently owned restaurants/shops and good schools. We'll of course consider places like McLean and Falls Church, too, but it seemed like McLean is even more expensive than Vienna and Falls Church has fewer houses that feed into a good school pyramid. I'd prefer to stay in Fairfax County Schools because I think the AAP program is a huge selling point, and I may be wrong but I got the impression Falls Church City was it's own school district.

Are there other good towns for commuting into DC that have those attributes that I'm missing? [/quote]

Money Magazine has the same glowing write up for Gaithersburg, MD. the traffic in the DC area is pretty awful. Google maps is not that accurate about that [/quote]
