[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No question, I would move closer in. Arlington or McLean, although  don't pretend to know anything about the McLean market. But there are plenty of houses in Arlington that are not "new construction on tiny lots." In your price range, you can pretty much have what you want.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I think for Arlington you need to drive around and see the different neighborhoods.  I am not sure what you consider a tiny lot, but friends have a new construction house on a 10,000 sq. ft. lot in about that price range and there is plenty of room to play outside.  There are tons of kids all over Arlington, but it varies street by street as to how "family friendly" they are.  Some streets have lots of bbqs, block parties, and others do not.     [/quote]

In Arlington, the closer you get to the river and the farther north you go (above Yorktown / 26th) the more likely you are to find larger lots and neighborhoods similar to those in Vienna ... closer in to the 'strip' in Arlington you're going to find more of the new build / small lot dynamic and a different type of community ... still very friendly, but not so much the little league / farmer's market community more of the cocktails in Clarendon / more urbane community ... Now I'll sit back and wait for the flaming for my use of stereotypes![/quote]
