[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford FCC your kids will probably be fine wherever they land. If I could afford FCC I’d look in North Arlington to have more options, but I don’t live the idea of having no “escape plan”. [/quote]

Any suggestions for specific areas in North Arlington that have a walkable feel and smaller streets?  This was what appealed about Falls Church.  Thank you!![/quote]
Westover, Cherrydale, Lyon Village, Waverly Hills[/quote]

+1 and I agree with what folks have said op. Take anything about middle schools with a grain of salt. It’s just a hard time for many kids almost no matter how you slice it. We live in Westover in Arlington and bid on a house in FCC- would have been happy there too. Our friends there are all happy. Small school system has pros and cons, I think mostly pros and people are happy, sometimes can be hard if your child doesn’t find their crowd or has a falling out.

Westover is fantastic and just as walkable if not more than FCC because not all of FCC has sidewalks so I’m not sure I agree with the poster who said more walkable than Arlington, some parts of Arlington I’m sure. They are both great places to live. Arlington is also incredibly bikeable if that appeals to you. I bike a lot and find it easier in Arlington than when I cross over and am navigating FCC. FCC has some better restaurants and brewery’s I feel like lately! Living in Westover we’re right there and can bike on the trail to them, FCC has done a great job bringing in some good new places.

I think you’d be happy in Westover or FCC or some of the others listed here. It can be hard to get a house in FCC since it’s a small area so doesn’t hurt to have a couple options. [/quote]
