[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved here a few years back and started off renting a TH in Courthouse/Claredon walkable to metro and amenities- felt like the best of both worlds. Stroller patrol and a lot of kids activities through the County, parks etc. but also good restaurants, and a semi-urban vibe. Commute into the city was a breeze by metro or car (10 mins or less to the national mall by car on the weekend). If you can afford it...and if you're considering Penn Quarter too...then you sound like a pretty typical family you'd find in the N Arlington orange line corridor...

North Arlington has more parks than I've ever seen in my life.  Really exceptional parks too.  I can walk to three parks within a few blocks of our house.  Very easy commute to Georgetown, and much closer commute than other locations within the District lines.

We have a far, far better local government and services here - it is safe, well-run, extremely pleasant.  Parts of Arlington near the Orange line corridor are urban/semi-urban.  Northernmost North Arlington is leafy neighborhoods, similar to what is right over the Chain Bridge from it in Palisades.

Most people are nice and down to earth here too - friendly in my neighborhood.  [/quote]
