[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 7-800K you can into Fairfax Station (some Robinson, some Woodson), but you get more land.  Burke Center (large Burke HOA/development) has single family homes in the 5-700K range.  They have 4-5 pools that you get with one membership.  I've heard the swim team is good (It is at the pool by the Burke VRE so it might be harder to walk to).  Burke has a couple of playgroups-divided into north and south.  I never did this since I did Rec Center classes and My Gym.  All FFX county schools are good and your top 4 are the best.  With a 2 yo those top 4 might change by the time you get to HS!  Robinson and Lake Braddock have flipped in my 8 years here.  I live in Burke (Signal Hill but on edge of Springfield, Annandale).  Burke is a sleepy town (no bars, indoor shopping centers, etc) it was designed this way---less traffic besides locals. I am 20 min to EVERYWHERE (not during rush hour obviously).  I can be at the National Mall in 20 min in front of the Air and Space, Tyson's, Potomac Mills, Alexandria, etc.  My key in location was my PROXIMITY to 495.  It can take an additional 20 min to get down Braddock road with traffic.  My first summer I went to a different park every week and we never finished.  I am still finding new parks 8 yrs later.  Tons of trails too.  The best park is Clemyjontri in McLean.  There is a nature center called Hidden Pond- it would be cool to live by there-probably West Springfield HS. Check out Burke Lake and Lake Accotink- some houses back up here.  I have a river in my back yard so it is amazing.  My kids spend hours there.  There are a few dads in our My Gym class and at preschool drop off, but I do think they are more work from home or flex hours. Check out Middleridge subdivision (probably 6-700K) feeds into Robinson. Also I am an Interior Designer and I've had lawyer two clients in Crosspointe, Lorton, South County HS.  I think this HS is really moving up.  Some one once told me to look at the cars in the HS parking lot and these kids have nice cars, ha/ha.[/quote][/quote]
