[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to be able to walk or metro to work (I walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to my childs school (my husband metros).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to playground (we walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to entertainment (we walk to dining, museums, etc.)  We walk to grocery store.

We do all of that in our VA neighborhood. [/quote]

For those of you who "have this in your VA neighborhoods" we no longer have a car, because we don't need one.  So, obviously you have managed to get by without a car because you can metro and walk everywhere?

I am guessing you haven't been to the SFH neighborhoods adjacent to Clarendon Metro.  We sold a car this summer.  The other one is a 2006 with ~20k miles used mainly for beach and ski trips.

Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Giant, Walgreens, etc and Metro are 2 blocks way.  Kids walk to local elementary. We walk to movies, gym, drycleaners, banks, bars and restaurants.  Bike more than Metro, actually.

Any more ?s.  we als have a yard and driveway which we didn't in the city.  We also didn't have a metro nearby in our old DC hood.[/quote]

Sounds great!  So, why are you posting in a thread called "Has anyone w/ kids chosen to leave NoVA for DC" if you love your house in NoVA so much?[/quote]

I'm a different PP.  I did respond earlier on that we have considered moving back to DC, but didn't want to pay for private school.  I don't love everything about this area, but the walkability is certainly nice.  A little better than our old neighborhood.  But it lacks in other ways though and we still hope to move back to DC (or another urban area) after our kids are out of school.  [/quote]
