You could do Burke but you would be pushing close to the $2000 upper limit of the budget. Good schools, though, and a reasonable commute.

Thanks for the help, especially HOV. My thought on the hybrid car wasn't so much cost as it was to get into the HOV. I thought the official website listed vehicles up to 2012. Also, I've been using Zillow and Realtor.com, any local sites for rentals? Thanks

Lake Ridge to Springfield wouldn't be a bad commute at all, especially if you get into the HOV lane-- there's HOV access not far from Lake Ridge.

One site you may want to look at for rentals is militarybyowner.com

Even though you are not military, you can view the site and contact the owner.

The cutoff for use of hybrids on I395 was 2006. I beleive they still allow newly registered hybrids on I66. So maybe that's what you are reading?

I like hotpads.com or padmapper.com for rentals. Craigslist is extremely popular here too--I found multiple rentals on there in the past.

If it were me, I'd spend a little more and live closer to work. Someone suggested Burke. IMO, I'd rather spend the extra coin on rent than time/gas/vehicle maintenance fighting traffic to get into work. Lakeridge/Montclair isn't a horrible commute, but to think about doing that day in/day out. You say you have young children right? So there will probably be baseball/soccer/other activities you'll have to rush home to. Just a thought...
