[quote=Anonymous]Our home in the Seminary Valley part of Alexandria City is on a .25 acre lot (corner lot) and was sub-$500k. (We obviously don't belong on DCUM.) Elementary school is ok, middle school is probably where we might need to do something else, and high school is ok. There are nicer, more updated houses in our neighborhood for closer to $550-575k. It's a nice neighborhood and the commute to downtown is easy, and there is a limited stop bus to the Pentagon.

We looked at some houses west of 395 in the Fairfax County part of Alexandria, around Little River Tpke, and north and south, and because the lots were originally laid out without access to county water/sewer, they had to have bigger lots to accommodate a drain field. Some of those are as big as half an acre, but much less of a neighborhood feel with some very odd tear-down neighbors. Honestly, 6000 sq. ft. isn't even that much if you're looking for a single family home. There's a lot both inside and outside the beltway, although probably not in the close-in desirable areas like N. Arlington. I don't think we saw anything smaller than that except townhouses.[/quote]
