[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why everyone is assuming OP needs to live near a metro? I have never taken the metro to work. From Falls Church (FFX just outside FCC), my commute is usually 30-45 minutes by car. My employer pays for parking. I'd rather drive than metro, maybe OP does too.[/quote]

OP. We don’t have to use the metro. Both our offices (Foggy Bottom and Farragut Square) have garages. But if the car commute is awful, then maybe metro proximity is something to consider.[/quote]

I’d stick to the SFH neighborhoods flanking the orange line corridor in Arlington - you’ll be able to drive in 15 min without traffic and 25-35 during rush hour or take the metro if you prefer.

Not sure about budget - if you’re above $3 or close to it high 2s look at Waverly Hills, Cherrydale, Lyon Village, Ashton Heights, Lyon Park. Closer to $2-2.5 look at Bluemont. Closer to $1.5-2 look at a renovated / bumped out Arlington Forest home if it comes up. [/quote]

PP here, apparently I can’t read and missed your $2M budget. Look at Bluemont.    [/quote]

Prices are not this high in real life unless you insist on 6000 sq ft or something.  We recently bought in Lyon Park under $1.5.  The $2-3 is just the giant boxy new builds. [/quote]

Some people want better schools than what you get in Lyon Park. [/quote]

The schools are fine! Not amazing but DMV public schools aren’t amazing anywhere. There is no New Trier in the DMV.[/quote]
