I live in Grandin Court and really like it here. We got a nice sized home on a great lot for much less that your budget. Of course, it was a fixer. The Murray Greenway is very close to us and we like to use it often. I must say that I feel pretty safe in this neighborhood.
I don't have kids so I don't know a lot about how the schools really are in this area. I do know that Patrick Henry seems to have a nice band, I hear them practicing a lot in the afternoon and they were great in the parade the other night.
If I were visiting in January I would certainly check out the Taubman Museum and Center in the Square. There are lots of places to browse and have a meal in the downtown area. If you are over in the Grandin Village area you can catch a movie at the restored Grandin Theater, have a nice dinner at one of the great restaurants, or if you are just needing a snack you can stop in at Pop's Ice Cream. Pop's serves Homestead Creamery ice cream, it is local and it is great! If you want a great cup of coffee you could head over to Brambleton Ave. and have a cup at Brambleton Blend, the best coffee I have encountered!
