OP here - Oooh thanks this is super helpful! I did not know that the boundary map was gerrymandered in that way to include that little chunk of Clarendon in Yorktown. Since I need to metro to commute I don’t think Wakefield is the best option (looks too far to walk to metro in most spots). I think I am still strongly leaning to WL since I really think my kid could benefit from the walkability (seems easier to foster independence and friendships) and it looks like there are no places zoned for Yorktown that are metro accessible AND walkable to the school.

The YHS kids in that area ride the ART bus for free. Many kids around Arlington do before they get their license.

But you're correct, unless you move near East Falls Church Metro (YHS zone), there's not many spots walkable to metro in YHS zone.[/quote]

We live near EFC metro (walking distance) and my kid metros all over[/quote]

We are in walk zone for YHS and EFC metro is walkable too. [/quote]

Huh. OP here. It does look like there are a handful of houses for rent that are about a 25-30 min walk from Yorktown and EFC metro, or maybe a quick bike ride, which is not too far for us. But probably not enough rentals to count on inventory being there, and we don’t need a whole house (just 3 of us). Definitely an interesting option for a bigger family though![/quote]

Yep it's a bit of a walk to either one but doable. My kid doesn't mind the walk at all. I have seen a few people in our neighborhood walking to the EFC metro too. [/quote]
