[quote=Anonymous]What I haven't seen in this thread is the most important - what is in the best interests of the OP's children?  If the children are more than a few years out from high school, much can change in that time.  It's better to take numerous factors and blend them together: (1) good schools with a diverse curriculum (not necessarily a diverse student body); (2) purchase price of a home and its eventual resale value; (3) commute to the OP's current job and potentially future job(s); and (4) overall "feel" of the neighborhood.

My wife and I bought in Wootton, not because of the high school, but because of the elementary and middle schools.  We also very much liked the neighborhood feel and knew some people who lived in our area.  Our commutes suck - DW commutes to D.C. and I commute to NoVa - but we make it work (timing the traffic is key).  I'm sacrificing more time in the car to have a neighborhood that we love.

Everything in life is a trade off.  Perfection doesn't exist around here, and even if you managed to achieve it, something would happen to change it.  You're better off prioritizing what is important to you and making your decision based on that priority.  Otherwise, you're just asking to be disappointed, if not resentful, of your decision.  Then again, you would only have yourself to blame.[/quote]
