[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My coworker is drinking every night thinking about this. Praying for a crash.[/quote]
Ha, yeah me too. 3 years ago we were trying to save for a $1.2M home, now that we could afford that, the same home is $1.4-1.5M. In another 3 when we can afford this, those homes will be $1.7M. F this mess. We are just going to throw our money away on rent and live in the home we wish we could buy in the neighborhood we love. Funny thing is, we are so rich ($270HHI) but we can't afford a 3br home. Nuts.[/quote]

You can certainly afford a 3BR home.[/quote]

Agree. In FX on Braddock road and across from GMU a brand new development starting at 1.2 ( not sure the builder) so if you do not go with all the extras you can probably get for 1.3?? You can then head straight down Braddock to 95 to 395 with the express lanes and be in dc 2x a week. Schools are FCPS so have all the good and bad people on here complain or compliment. You can make them what you want or go parochial as not much else this way.

Fairfax city is redeveloping and you can walk or bike through the campus to get to library, coffee, restaurants, park, and swim club. It is. Or dc or Arlington restaurant or shopping quality but it is getting better ( we are about to retire) so may be worth considering.[/quote]

As someone who lives near this area, you do not want to live off of Braddock near GMU. It will take 15 minutes to just get on the highway.[/quote]

Hmm, different poster but I totally disagree. I live near there too and I feel like I have not only limited traffic compared to most of the county, but I can quickly get almost anywhere north, south east and west. Ten to fifteen minutes on Braddock is nothing.[/quote]
