[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I’m honestly surprised looking at some of the great schools scores (which I know you have to take with a grain of salt) that so many of these school pyramids  seemed to be ranked low, like the ones you mention — Edison, West Potomac, Hayfield, etc. I had heard that Fairfax was such a strong system but it seems like there are a lot of variables. Our budget is up to 1.1 million but from what I see in Arlington that won’t even buy you a tiny house. We are more city people usually so wanted to be closer in to Alexandria or Arlington to be near DC, but it’s sounding like some of the further out neighborhoods make the most sense. I’ll look at some of the other neighborhoods mentioned here and I didn’t consider future redistricting. We have a rising middle schooler and elementary kid so that’s important. [/quote]

Arlington and Alexandria are really nice.  You can't beat the proximity to DC, and if you are into city life generally and want to be close to D.C., I think you should prioritize that.

The last thing you want is to be stuck out in the burbs with a lengthy car commute or a painful public transit commute with buses every half hour or hour to get to where you want to spend the most time. Move close in and enjoy the convenience of being able to get around easily to cute shops, restaurants, theatres etc.
