Maybe you should rent for a while and decide for yourself. Buying and selling homes can get expensive.

I can't speak for Herndon but you obviously don't know what you are talking about regarding Burke or West Springfield.

You can only get a shoebox in pimmit for $550. And those are tear downs.

I'd go with a townhouse in Burke.

PP here. You know... I was be snarky in my previous post, but is Pimmit Hills possible for >$500k these days? Might be worth checking out.

With as bad as Tysons traffic is, you could live in freaking Pimmit Hills (that DCUM favorite!) and it would take 20 minutes to drive a couple miles down Rt. 7.

Yep, this. I grew up in Greenbriar (GBW, Rocky Run, then TJ (base was Chantilly)). It ain't glamorous, but there's a great neighborhood pool and 100% sidewalk availability.

Go western part of the county: oak hill, Floris, lees corner, Crossfield, etc/ Carson Franklin, or Rocky Run/ Chantilly or Oakton. You can do 400k, but probably a townhouse. Definitely most affordable top tier schools in the county. Commute to Tysons under a half hour (I do it) but you need to be willing to go/ pay for the toll road. Second place on good schools/ affordable house would be Burke Don't know the schools as well.


Have you checked out the price of housing lately? Even a townhouse in the Carson/Franklin area is running over 4.






It's doable...
