[quote=Anonymous]You're going to have a hard time finding something not near a busy street if you want to be anywhere remotely close-in. It's actually not a bad thing to be a couple/few blocks off a busy street. I'm not talking route 66 or 395 - I'm talking a Glebe or Route 1 or Lee Hwy. We live 1 block off of George Mason in Arlington, and about 3-4 blocks off of Lee and about the same distance from Glebe. It is great to have the commuting options, and we never hear road noise. There is some cut-through traffic thanks to the mapping softwares - no way to avoid that. But we are walkable to all sorts of things BECAUSE we are near a busy road. That's where shops and restaurants are. Busy roads get plowed quickly, so you can generally make your way out during/after a storm. I used to live 2 blocks off of route 50 and a few blocks from route 29 - again, no road noise, huge convenience factor. Falls Church City would be awesome, but we'd need to know your budget.[/quote]
