[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]" We are European family, not interested in having to drive 15 min for every errand or get in the car when we are out of bread."[/b]

You aren't going to find that in the DC area along with all of your other requirements. Its very rare. [/quote]

I live in the Washington-Liberty zone, across the street from a grocery store. We can run a lot of errands by foot or with a 5-10 min car ride. It's also nice to be pretty close to the river, Georgetown, etc.[/quote]

Of course that exists, but very few people live across from a store in Arlington. I live in the same zone and cannot walk to a grocery store in under 12-15 minutes, which we never do because why am I going to walk almost 30 minutes round trip for one item when I can hop in the car in 5 mins on a busy school night?  Since OP is coming here from somewhere else, I wouldn’t want her to think that all of Arlington is walkable to stores. I can get to most places within five minutes but if I’m going to go to target or largest stores like that, it’s a good 15 minutes. [/quote]
