[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a nightmare getting out of there, even with the service road/lights. We almost bought in the townhouses across the street/next to Marshall and after visiting during rush house and school dismissal a few times, we decided that it would be really horrible getting in and out of the neighborhood and bought in the community off of Idylwood - much easier to get in and out of.

It's also frustrating that it is so close to things but not walkable. I mean, I guess you could walk across the office parking lot and get to the library and playground, but cars speed through that parking lot, it's not very safe. I would NOT try to walk to Trader Joe's, it's not safe at all.[/quote]

You would not walk .5 miles on a sidewalk, to and from the grocery store?

I am pretty neutral on these townhomes, except that I think residential development in that area is a vast improvement over the sad strip mall thing across the street. But the level of hate on here for them is unreal. You sound like 75 year olds planning your run to the Geriatric Giant in McLean later today.[/quote]

I've tried to walk from the library to Trader Joe's with my kids and nearly got run over twice. [/quote]

Very odd. I have done it many times. There is a sidewalk the whole way except crossing the parking lot at Trader Joe’s.[/quote]
DP, but that intersection is the problem. Cars are merging both from the TJ parking lot and the Peach Orchard lot so they can turn left on 7. That congestion leads to a lot of distracted/questionable driving choices. Whenever we walk from the library, we cut through the apartments to cross near the coffee shop, but even that isn’t ideal way to avoid traffic trying to get to that light. [/quote]
