[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to keep your expectations low. These are the consolation places people live when they can't afford Arlington, Falls Church etc.

Its really important to be in a neighborhood with a pool. [/quote]

Listen, sincerely. F you and the horse you road in on.

These are all great places to live with lots of room, in terms of house size and yards (for now - development is happening quickly in these areas). The schools are great. Lots of families. Increasing number of things to do. Mass transit moving closer and we have more options now. Our house value has nearly doubled.

Is it DC or Arlington (we moved out from Clarendon)? No. And if you can only like that then you won't like these areas.

But we have a lot of fun out here in one of those "consolation prize" areas. AND the bonus is that we now TW and don't have to commute to DC (except for our Caps season tickets -when they play- which we can afford this and lots of other things by our lower cost of living). We have lots of green, space, wildlife, parklands, battlefields . . . It's quiet and dark at night (our first night in our home, coming from Arlington, was almost spooky the difference in noise levels). But lots of fun things: wineries close, close to Jiffy Lube and concert venues at brews and vineyards, close to Mosaic District and Reston, and a short ride to DC. I'm rambling but the point is: you get the best of both here. You get the green and gardens and space but if you want something more urban, you get there in a snap.

We love it. And just laugh our asses off when people slam it w/o really knowing what it's like. More for us.

I've lived in bigger cities, and in urban burbs like Arlington. I've also lived in the middle of nowhwere. This is the best of both worlds, imo.[/quote]
