Good luck finding a cut-through. Do you mean Wilson? Busy. Key Blvd? Traffic calming.

Values may be high there, but "infinitely higher" than elsewhere in Arlington? I don't think so.

Sure beats having to stay 15 minutes longer in that metro to go to Falls Church or beyond.

Anyway, design on a new rush-service metro along 66 in North Arlington has already began.

And I still have to skip packed trains. It will only get worse once the silver line starts. It seems that metro is now the most beneficial and much faster for those closer to the end of the metro but not the last stops.

At the end of the stop you are 1 mile from the city . We don't use Metro. Driving takes 10 min. DH bikes in.

Metro is merely for an emergency for us (unusual traffic jam, weather issues, broken down car). It's great for out if town guests to hop on when they visit--2 blocks away.

metro is for plebes

Us too. We are one block away from Metro station. We are 1.5 miles to DC. We don't use Metro to commute either. It takes me 10 min. to get to my office and they give me parking spot.

Super close in to DC, nearby stores and amenities, beautiful treed neighborhood with lots of trails, and a good school pyramid (Taylor/Williamsburg/Yorktown). There is a good neighborhood feel, with lots of kids but also non-intrusive. Our house which we bought over the summer is an older rambler/fixer-upper but we still had to pay more than we should have. I think there are still somewhat reasonably-priced houses in the neigborhood although there are also a lot of big houses going up that eat up entire lots!

Sweet, someone else from the neighborhood! One of the best.
