[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in AU Park (but with friends in and easy bus access to Dupont, downtown, Mt. Pleasant and Columbia Heights before they were upscale etc). I thought I would always, always be a city person. I've lived in Arlington for 10 years now (with a brief break between two homes) and recently purchased my second home in S. Arlington. I love, love, love Arlington. In many ways it has everything that the city has. In fact, it used to be part of the city. That said--I do think that walkability is a factor--as beautiful and upscale as far N. Arlington is, I would not live there unles I was a very easy walk from Lee Highway or some sort of commerical district. Arlington is great for parks and green spaces which helps with walkability all over. I know you asked about N. Arlington--but I love all of Arlington and am excited to be raising my first child, and eventually a larger family here. Yes, you kind of need a car (unless you're right on the orange line) but I do have lots of friends who make do with zip car and many, many families only have 1 car. [/quote]
