Before you pick a neighborhood
What I tell families heading here
- TIP 01
Parking at the Pentagon is limited. Plan your commute around Metro, VRE, buses, or slugging.
- TIP 02
Slug lines are informal carpools that let drivers use the express lanes. Lots of Pentagon commuters use them.
- TIP 03
Closer in usually means smaller homes for the same price. Decide what matters more to your family: space or time.
Schools
Comparing schools
Every family weighs schools differently. I'll point you to official school district boundaries and state report cards so you can compare for yourself, and I'll make sure the homes we look at are zoned where you want them.
Your base's School Liaison Officer is another great resource. They can help with enrollment, transfers, and special programs.
School assignments can change. Always confirm a home's assigned schools with the school district.
