[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and while we are not ready to buy, we came across a house we love in Acton. It's farther out than we would like, but it made me currious about the area. What D.C. suburb (on the VA side) would it be most similar to?

Again, we are planning to avoid a commute into Boston if we can (neither of us have commuted into D.C. fo over a decade).[/quote]

I grew up in Acton. I can't think of a DC suburb akin to it. It has a seriously powerhouse high school. That's why people live there. 
What neighborhood is the house in?[/quote]

What do you mean by a "seriously powerhouse high school"? The house was zoned for Luther Conant Elementary, Raymond J Grey Junior HS, and Acton-Boxborough Regional HS.

As far as I know, Acton has school choice - you don't have to attend the school that you're "zoned" for. Conant is one of several schools.

I mean that the high school is one of the top-ranked in the state and was just named #1 by Boston magazine. It's competitive and intense. Acton, unlike comparable school districts Concord-Carlisle or Lexington, doesn't have a town center/downtown area. The draw isn't the town. It's the school.[/quote]
