[quote=Anonymous]The Dumfries house zones to Forest Park which is the best of the eastern PWC high schools. If that house had zoned to Freedom, Gar-Field, or Potomac, I'd have said that's the reason it's $300k. But there's no jobs in that part of the world. That house would run you in the $400k range in close-in Leesburg (not in downtown but within walking range.) Frederick and Leesburg are well-positioned due to their end point status on this area's suburban job corridors. Folks who want their historic/walkable downtowns can live there -- basically Frederick is a sanitized version of Baltimore and Leesburg is a sanitized version of Alexandria -- and work at some location along the 267 or 270 corridors. The key with the smaller/less expensive cities is that there's fewer chances to land the 80-150k jobs and definitely the 150k jobs. [/quote]
