[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you to those with the helpful suggestions! Much to think about!

We always liked walking around old town Alexandria. Many ppl suggested del ray. What’s the school situation there? When searching on school rating websites (yes I know they’re flawed) the public elementary schools in Alexandria/ del ray didn’t seem to rank as high as Arlington or Fairfax? Am I missing something?

Vienna.... I guess I don’t know much about it except it’s the last stop on the orange line. It would be 45 mins at least into DC proper? I’m assuming we’ll end up in DC once or twice a week for meeting friends etc. A bit too far me thinks..?

For those families who live in westover - and also other parts of Arlington - do you walk to local things like little kids music class... the local library... stores/ restaurants/gyms?

I am in Penrose and LOVE IT. yard size is hit or miss, but super walkable to most things you mention. I did have to drive to little kids music classes but that was the only one on your list I had to drive. I think Arlington or del ray would be a good fit for you. For my area south of 50 only some lots have large yards. courthouse to ballston corridor (and adjacent like lyon park/village ect) would also suit you. I can be at the Smithsonian museums in 10 minutes which was great when kids were little and I could get the 9:30 am parking as it opened up. I still have trouble visiting friends outside of the beltway, it just seems so far. City is easier[/quote]
