You can certainly find what you want for low end of your budget, without even going up to a mill.
That's true. A comparable home in Philly will likely go for at least 30% less than Northern Virginia. A million $ would put you up with the "old money" crowd.

I don't think the suburbs here will be any more diverse than in NoVa.

The Main Line is probably what you're looking for but there are other gems out there within a 30 minutes of center city - Swarthmore, PA and Haddonfield, NJ among them.

Just a point about SEPTA RR vs. VRE - SEPTA trains generally run every 30 minutes to an hour for most of the day, 7-days per week with more trains during rush hour.
