[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved to Burke from Boise ID.  We like it a lot, but we do find that the shopping and restaurants are much more limited here than in Boise.  I guess it's the high value of property.  I LOVE the Target, but the Walmart is the worst I've ever seen.  The neighborhoods seem safe.  With so many older homes with no garages, people leave their bikes and other stuff out in their carports, and I guess its not a problem.  It would very much be a problem in Boise.  I have two bus stops within .1 mile of our house. I transfer to metro at the pentagon.  My commute is about 1.25 hours, but it really is not stressful.   [/quote]

Hi PP from Boise -- I also live in Burke and grew up in the far reaches of the Boise area (i.e. our mall and airport were 2 hours away in Boise).  I'm glad to hear you're adjusting well.  I know what you mean about the lack of retail but Boise has simply exploded in the last decade so everything there is so new and nice.  Burke was developed in the late 70's and the stores (and some homes) are starting to look their age.  
OP, my commute to the DC area (don't want to give away too many identifiers!) is 35 minutes.  [/quote]
