John: I am relocating from Texas to Northern Virginia. I will be working in the Vienna area 
and my wife will be working in Reston. I know your area is no longer farmland but is it possible to find large lots with a country or wooded feel that are convenient to where we will be working?
Steve: I would advise that you check out the Oakton area. It is approximately 16 square miles of mostly wooded and rolling land right smack dab between Vienna and Reston. In general it is bounded by Hunter Mill road, Lawyers road, West Ox road and Route 50. Here is a link to Oakton's Wikipedia entry.
Oakton's school boundaries are not always easy to figure out by map. Check and see which school your child might be attending by entering your proposed address into the school boundary checker.
Follow up with the school in person or by phone to verify.
There are parts of Oakton that would make you think you were in Canada even though you are only 15 miles from DC and a few miles in any direction to some of the best shopping and entertainment emporiums in the DC metro area.
John: If I want to go downtown is it close to metro?
Steve: The Vienna metro sits astride route 66 and is easily accessed from the route 50 side of Oakton. Vienna and Oakton bump up against each other so in some Oakton locations you are only 10 minutes from the Vienna metro station.
One of the nice things about Oakton is that there are many routes in and out of it so you can adjust your driving pattern based on traffic flow and time of day. I like popping out of Oakton on Lawyers road and running up into Vienna then over to Tysons Corner. This avoids the major traffic arteries and is a beautiful drive. If I hit it wrong and have to go slow at least the scenery is peaceful and I would rather be in the woods and going slow than on routes 50 or 66 going nowhere fast.
John: Got any pictures as an example of what I can find in Oakton?
Steve: Oakton is quite varied. The homes I posted here are in the western part of Oakton off Waples Mill road.
John: These homes are great and just the kind of thing I was hoping to find. You don't mind if we make use of your services to help us find the perfect Oakton home for sale would you?
Steve: Jan and I are happy to help with no hassle and no pressure. Drop us a line and we will set up a home tour for you.
