[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are officially moving but I don't even know where to begin... Tell me what neighborhood / block / elementary school you live in and love... here are my specific asks:

- Needs to funnel into a top PUBLIC high school (we don't have private school money) (I'm looking at Whitman, Wootton, BCC, Walter Johnson in MD and Langley, McLean districts in VA)
- Needs to be within commuting distance to Georgetown 
- Needs to be densely populated (houses close together, super neighborhood feel, mature trees would be a plus, I need a yard but I don't want a big one)
- Needs to have a community that gets together a lot / kids outside playing / parents that like to have drinks together etc.
- A plus would be a pool that everyone goes to 
- a bigger plus would be that most neighborhood kids go to the public school (rather than private)

The beset commute to G'town would be from close-in VA areas: Arlington, FCC and McLean.  If you want a TOP public school, it would have to be zoned to McLean High.  If you are willing to consider simply a very good public school rather than "TOP", it can also be zoned to Madison High and Marshall High. [/quote]

Madison is a very good high school.  But it's not great for a commute to Georgetown since it's further out and, while it's near the Vienna Metro, Georgetown doesn't have a Metro station.

There are some closer-in areas zoned for Marshall in Falls Church, but the county seems intent on loading Marshall up with multiple affordable housing projects in Tysons, so the school's academic profile stands to decline. [/quote]
