[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The neighborhoods comparable to Oakton / Vienna and with great schools might be Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. However. That would be the most nightmarish commute to Mountain View. There are people who do it (and I know people who do), but it works best if you only have to go to the office 1-2 days per week. I mean, you have to go through a tunnel and over a bridge. Horrible![/quote] Hmm, I guess my point is that there aren't any Vienna-style neighborhoods near the Valley, which is why living there is so hard. DC has the advantage of a spectrum of housing options and prices with a range of good schools (like Alexandria part of Fairfax; schools aren't the best but still OK and wide range of housing prices and stock). Bay Area seems almost bipolar by comparison; good/decent schools CRAZY expensive, cheaper homes have very poor quality schools with most folks going private. Or really long across the bay commutes or east bay exurbs.[/quote]
