[quote=Anonymous]OP, I actually think you're in a fairly good position to find a SFH you like if you're willing to do something smaller (3 bed/2Ba) as opposed to needing a 4 BR+ house.  And you should definitely buy where there are decent schools for re-sale, but you don't necessarily need to pay a high sticker price to get into a great schools 10 rated pyramid.

I think your best options are either trying to stay near Fairfax/Oakton/Vienna/Falls Church.  I live near the edge of Fairfax City and think it's a nice, safe area with a few restaurants/shops downtown (they're working on expanding the old town area).  It's also only a few miles from Mosaic District.  My husband commutes to Tyson's on back roads and it takes anywhere from 25 (good day) to 45 min.  Oakton has less restaurants/shopping, but is a quick drive to Maple St in Vienna and isn't too far from Tyson's.

Otherwise, a lot of people who work in Tyson's tend to look out west toward Reston.

I recommend at least spending a week out here exploring different areas if you really want to buy.  Otherwise, renting is a great option until you get your bearings.  Good luck!![/quote]
