[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We saw these houses:

The neighborhood was basically on top of the metro (TOO CLOSE) and there was a power station in the front yard. There were very busy streets nearby.

This house was wrong in many ways, but we wanted to see what 700k would get you in Arlington.  It was off a very busy street that seemed like it would be a nightmare to pull out of on a work day.

It seemed like we drove through lots of strip mall areas to get there, but our navigation might have sent us a weird way.  We were going to see more but we ended up having to cut our trip short (kid issues).

[b]I am from a small town in New England and I was hoping to find the same kind of small town feeling (kids can play outside with neighbor kids) in Arlington[/b], with access to the city by metro.  Both DH and I work in the city - he works in Georgetown and I work near Union Station.  Plus great schools.

[b]Am I being unrealistic? [/b]

I'm afraid you are being unrealistic.  There are no towns here, no places with the real-place sense that a New England town gives its community.

I am from New England too and cannot tell you how much I miss living in a town.[/quote]
