[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just crazy to pay Fairfax County prices, and to live in Fairfax County at all when you could live closer in, and have to send your kids to private school. I get doing that in DC but at least in most places where [b]you’re paying a premium for a suburban location,[/b] part of the deal is high achieving schools.

For those concerned of diversity, there are diverse Fairfax County middle schools and high schools that are high achieving.[/quote]

You are not paying a premium when buying in that area.  You are getting a discount versus almost all other areas of FFC County. [/quote]

It's overpriced compared to central Fairfax County, and right across the river you can get a similar house for half the price.[/quote]

Show me a listing for something similar for 385k anywhere in Fairfax County.

That's not what I wrote, although that house sucks.[/quote]

Haha this house is nicer than like 75% of what is in Fairfax county. Its completely similar to what Burke/Springfield are completely full of but closer in and its nicely updated. [/quote]

It's a run of the mill split level. It's nothing special.

That said, it's not really much closer in than West Springfield for example. Right now it is 26 mins from West Springfield to the White House and 16 miles. Fort Hunt to the White House is 29 mins and 13 miles. At rush hour, the commutes are comparable.[/quote]

But the odds of having a major delay commuting when commuting downtown on 395 are much higher than when commuting on the GW parkway.   And of course Old Town is the job location for many folks living in the Fort Hunt area.  [/quote]
