[quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone think top school in nation = best place to live? If you don't have kids that's irrelevant. Even if you do public school may carry a different weighted value (e.g,, you want to go private, send kid to boarding school, you have a genius, want to home school, you're ok w a B- school, etc., etc., )

I'm from Reston & Vienna and am a product of FCPS, where we were taught to do a 1040 in the 9th grade. :) Lived in a few states which I liked a lot (incl. GA), but I've been in MD 6years now and love it. All states and their cities have pros and cons.

Schools are important, sure, but not being a top public school doesn't mean everything else is a bad school, or that your child is doomed to a crap education. Plus there are other factors  to consider in daily quality if life -- I love my community, home, commute, proximity to places of interest, and not having crazy traffic and snobby flashy pretentious community neighbors anymore. I miss all the swimming pools. We still rent out our property in NoVa, but don't see ourselves moving back because we enjoy MD so much. Friends all think it's funny bc like many other Virginians I looked down on MD for years just because it wasn't VA and in wit too has a place in my heart.

Virginia is beautiful, and will always be home -- but Maryland is my home now too and I love it. I think it depends on where you live in the state, what you are looking for in a community, and that will vary person to person. Which is fine.[/quote]
