[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know DCUM generally thinks Annandale is the festering sore of Fairfax county and wish it would just secede--terrible schools, poor brown people, etc. But, it has to be a matter of time before it comes up, right? It's inside the beltway and has some great housing stock, including the MCM heaven that is Lake Barcroft. It seems like it has to be an investor's dream. Why is it not the next South Arlington?

We just sold our starter house here, and are looking for something bigger in the "better" FCPS school districts (Burke, West Springfield, etc) but I kinda love it here and would really prefer to spend our $740 on this beauty:

rather than some boring Mcmansion that's going to add 30+ minutes to my SO's commute.

But it's hard to get past a GS score of 2, even if you don't buy into the reductive self fulfilling prophecy of Great Schools. 
Can someone give me hope? Any reason to think Annandale schools will are going to get better?[/quote]

South Arlington is much more convenient to DC, by car, by transit, even  by bike. Annandale is more convenient to Tysons, but there are are better choices for convenience to Tysons.  And S Arlington is more walkable.

That is what holds Annandale back, but the locals will always focus on immigration instead - that obsession does not help either. [/quote]
