The Fox Mill neighborhood is walkable, there are 3-4 restaurants in the little strip mall and a grocery store. It feeds into Fox Mill Es, Carson MS, and South Lakes HS. I suspect that either the MS or HS will change this year. Fox Mill ES kids might be moved to Skyview. If they are not moved to Skyview, I expect them to be moved to Hughes for MS.

We have this in McLean- near McLean high school. Lots of racial diversity, but not a lot of economic diversity. We can’t walk to a rec center, but plenty of fields are nearby.

I think Vienna would also be good for this, but I can’t stand the traffic through the middle of town

I don't think most of the county-run recreation centers in Fairfax County are near walkable, commercial areas. There is a private facility (McLean Racquet & Health Club) in the central McLean area and a One Life fitness closer to Tysons.

Burke center, feeding to Robinson. Walkable to everything along burke center parkway (trails connect), multiple pools you could ride bikes to, the Robinson principal is beloved, staff is there long term. 56% white, remaining pretty split.

And it's private, but Burke racquet and swim club would be walkable from much of it.

Mount Vernon Rec Center in Belle View is, but OP probably wouldn’t like the schools.

Alexandria. But you'd need to go private for school.

“Need?” I don’t think so.
