[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington is hot because it's a short drive to DC ( 20 minutes for me to drive), plus you can have a SFH with a yard, good schools that aren't overly snobby, and low crime. People like to hate on the schools but they are far better than the public schools I grew up with. Falls Church is just too far for people who actually need to be in DC and don't want to spend their time commuting.[/quote]

Falls Church is far?  How long can it possibly take to commute to Capital Hill when it’s right next to Arlington ?[/quote]

It’s an extra 15-20 min compared to closer-in Arlington. And the roads are all slow - lots of congestion and lights.

Just for the record, this is simply not true.  I have commuted via car from several locations in FC to DC every day (Pre-COVID) for 20 years.  ALL the traffic is in close-in Arlington/DC (bridges, DUH), except maybe PM traffic on the 50 corridor outside of 7 Corners.[/quote]

I lived in FCC and also EFC for several years and now live closer-in (Courthouse). My closer commute has cut off 15 min or even more on the tough days.

I took Wash Blvd/Lee Hwy to Key Bridge. [/quote]

** and this wasn’t FCC, but I was driving out to Falls Church (Fairfax County) just inside the beltway (reverse commute) for a few months for a project and that consistently took 20 min.
