Value is the operative word. Is it worth it for some people? When my children were younger I moved into an area in Fairfax County VA that was way over my budget. I could afford the house but that was about it. I moved there because that particular area had an excellent school system. The sacrifices were worth it. Same with TV. There are less expensive places, but I know this is the best place to be. I would rather live in a modest house in TV than a larger one someplace else and I have talked with others who feel the same way. For us, we want to be out of the house and more active. Will this be our last house? I do not know. I do know this move is right at this time in our lives. Thursday cannot come soon enough.
