[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We've considered moving to Fairfax and like it well enough but are hesitant because we recognize this would likely entail adopting a car-centric lifestyle. I know thats not popular with many but walkability is up there for us.[/quote]

OP   First, Huntington is in Fairfax County.   Are you looking at the older duplexes in the area or some of the few single family houses along King's Highway?  Are you considering the condos?  What is your price range?  Have you driven through the neighborhoods?  There are some newer townhouses along Huntington Avenue that are nice.  The shopping in the area is very weak -- a 7-11 and a few low-end restaurants and services.  If you tell me your budget and what you want besides some walkability, I might be able to point you to some other neighborhoods.  For example, there are nice duplexes along East and West Taylor Run in Alexandria City.  They are walkable to a big shopping center as well as the King Street Metro and border a park.  The elementary school  -- Douglas MacArthur -- is also fair to good.   [/quote]

Actually, MacArthur is the most desirable ES in ACPS, with the possible exception of Lyles Crouch.[/quote]
