Have to head into downtown DC office 2 days a week so willing to have a longer commute, but nothing like 2 hours. Schools are important but don’t need to be the absolute top- only have 1 kid so private could be an option if needed. Budget up to $750k ish.


If you could do private schools the following places in PG are inside the beltway and have a "small town feel".
Cheverly/Old Greenbelt/Hyattsville (Arts District area)/University Park/Riverdale Park/Mt Rainer.
My kids are in public school here but we are open to the idea that we may need to go private for middle or high school.

I think this is hard to find in the DC metro area due to county run government and schools.

You could get a TH in the Winter Hill section of Falls Church City. Lots of families, lots within walking distance.

Poolesville, Maryland is best option. Great schools, not too far from city, small town feel, great housing options for 750k.

For $750K? What could the OP find there, someone’s shed?
