Not sure how big the district is, but I know where Haycock is and the notion that houses near Haycock are "walking distance" to Falls Church City amenities is pretty far-fetched.  It could be done, but it's not nearly as close to amenities as those who live close to Science Focus are.  Even in elementary school in an Arlington "choice school," our son has friends from different phases of his life who he sees with regularity.  The idea of staying with the same group of friends sounds almost incestuous, LOL, considering that kids' interests and friends may well change over time.[/quote]

If you lived next door to Haycock, you might not be within walking distance of WFC Metro and FCC, but you can live in the Haycock district and have those options.  There is a difference.

There's nothing "incestuous" about having a school pyramid where kids stay together for elementary, middle and high school.  That's how schools are organized in most communitites, and it's one of the things that attracted us to Haycock.  That's MUCH more personal than splitting up the kids again and again IMHO.

I do suppose living in Arlington has its advantages, if you want to be next door to DC, are OK with W-L, and don't mind all the post-college fraternity boys and sorority girls who literally seem to have taken over Arlington.
