[quote=Anonymous]It would depend on which part of Arlington.  DH could go the back way through McLean and miss the toll road traffic.  It would be more scenic but if you are moving from out of the area, rest assured that commuting here is unlike almost anywhere else in the country, bar LA or NY.

OP here - I was born and raised in MoCo, so know it well - very well. we are actually moving back from LA - so traffic in DC does not scare me in the least. its a joke in comparison to DC traffic. That said, I want my DH for once to have a nice short commute to work - aka - between 30-45 mins max.  DH will be working in the crystal city area.

thanks again.[/quote]

Edge of GF or McLean area would work for you if you want more bucolic life.  If you favor walkable, city environs, Old Towne Alexandria or North Arlington are great.  I currently live in GF with 2 kids but have lived in both other places as well.  Cons for Old Towne and NA are high price for smaller yards but communities are great.  Cons for GF is that you have to work a little harder to get to know neighbors.  All good folks as well, here.  Good luck.[/quote]
