Hello,

Unexpected last minute trip to DC and I'm hoping some could just provide me with a list of neighborhood s to look at while there. I am considering both MD and VA burbs. Please help.

Criteria

400-450k 3/2 sfh or TH
Average to great schools
Lots of young families
The livelier the better
Maybe near a commuter rail? Husband works from home but I'd have to find a job while there so I would like to be accessible to areas where there are lots of employers

Thanks!!

Maybe for a SFH look in Gainesville/Haymarket area in VA. Not very close to Va Rail Express or Metro but for the money it might be tough. Maybe a TH in the Vienna/Oakton area as this would fit the bill nicely.

In that price range (and school preference) you have options in Springfield, Annandale, Reston, Burke, Oakton and Centreville (mostly town homes) but there are some nice options. It's going to be hard to give you specific neighborhoods without knowing more about what you are looking for. The Springfield area (and perhaps Reston) is going to get you closest to Metro but most areas will have Metro bus access. If you'd like more specific info, feel free to message me.

OP - you are all over the map posting looking for places. You need to spend some time doing research on areas.
