[quote=Anonymous]We live in West End and have parking for our condo, we find ourselves driving a lot too when needing to go anywhere where we cannot walk to.  Before baby I occasionally would take metro to go to museums and shopping at Friendship Heights or Pentagon.  With the baby I honestly don't  have time to do such things anymore and we use online shopping more than going to stores.  I enjoy living within walking distance to many places including work more than I enjoy living close to metro, which I don't use anymore.   Personally, I would settle for areas that are urban and have stuff nearby you can walk to with your double stroller or walk your kids when they are older.  I personally don't see the appeal of places around WFC and EFC metro stops that have very low walkability save for the metro stop and don't have anything around.  We have access to 3 metro lines around us and don't use them, think about living .5 miles away from a suburban station with one line running through it and delays and having to walk on boring, non-pedestrian friendly paths to get accross highways and parking lots to such stations.  I would not pay premium for these place personally.[/quote]
