[quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, the closer you live to DC (VA and MD), the more traffic you’ll have, often bumper-to-bumper, along with fewer and smaller park areas. In close-in areas, in addition to the neighborhood traffic, you get all the traffic from those farther out driving to and from DC during weekdays and on weekends. As a result, in parts of Virginia and Maryland closest to DC, it might take you 15 minutes to drive a few miles to and from a grocery store, whereas the same distance in Fairfax might take 4-6 minutes. The same goes for schools, fitness clubs, parks, etc. As another poster indicated, I wouldn’t factor access to museums into the equation. As a resident, it is easy enough to park at any one of the many metro stations with parking (free on weekends) and then take a 10-20 minute metro ride into DC for a day at one or more museums.[/quote]
