[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP-- we live in a SFH neighborhood in Clarendon. There are tons of kids here and the parks and courts are always filled. We moved from NWDC when our oldest was 2 and I was pregnant with 2nd kid. I am a 100% walkability/city-type person. This neighborhood has fit all stages of my kids. They are now 13 and almost 16 and will bike or walk up to one of the many parks, schools to hang out with friends--basketball, soccer, tennis, etc. Then, they will walk to any of the many food places in packs. The movie theater is also walking distance. This alleviates the need for mom and dad driving them everywhere and gives them a very big dose of independence. My nephews in their 20s will often take our basement room when they are home on college breaks (my sister lives in outer suburbs) since they can walk to bars/restaurants or take Metro or a very cheap uber into DC.[/quote]
