[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was going to say Chantilly until your post about your social status.  Please stay away.  [/quote]

Pretty sure the OP is yet another troll, trying to stir up animosity among the Langley haters.  It's beyond old.[/quote]

I do think "TIA" at the end of a post like the OP here can sometimes be read as "have fun while I go get my popcorn" but in this case OP seemed legit.  You never really know, so maybe err on the side of not insulting someone by calling them a troll. [/quote]

OP here. 
Sorry I didn’t want to create a stir and in noway demeaning the culture or any of these areas. 
It was genuine attempt to understand the areas, but we are still split and will look at houses in both areas :)

And, thanks all for lot of good suggestions and providing insights. 
I agree with the fact that we are getting more house for the money in Chantilly. [/quote]

I guess my thought is this, when you retire, will you be glad that you gave up that extra $200,000 - $300,000 in retirement money potential for a house to attend Langley or McLean high school. I ask this as an adult who is looking at the cost of memory care for her parent and wondering if the amount that we are saving is enough. And we are already maxing out retirement funds as well as saving in other areas. And I know that the price difference is not a 1-1 exchange but my thought is that is money each month that could be saved in different places that will probably grow at a faster and more stable rate then home equity. And knowing that we will be less stressed if one of us loses a job with a smaller mortgage.

There are a lot of solid to great high schools in FCPS. If you focus on the quality of the education and not the wealth of the peer group you can probably find a happy medium. Networking works for some people but not all. And I am not certain the hanging with the kids of Langley establishes the type of network that you think that it might. [/quote]
