[quote=Anonymous]We lived in Belle Haven, but made a decision to move to Fairfax. It wasn't the schools. It's the disconnect that a lot of people have around there. I think the whole push toward private school wasn't something we were interested in and I found that the community seemed more insular and "exclusive" and less welcoming. It wasn't the Belle View elementary community, for example. It was Belle Haven, the country club, your private school, etc. It just felt off to me. There was a lot of "people outside of Belle Haven" walking around posts on the list serve that I found weird, too. People take walks. It's not a gated community. We rented for two years with the thought we would buy in the neighborhood. My job was in old town so the commute was perfect. Well, my company moved to Reston and that went out of the window. We actually like Fairfax quite a bit. We're near Fairfax City and it seems much more community based -- including the schools. It doesn't hurt that the schools are great and the housing is cheaper and the commute is a breeze.[/quote]
