[quote=Anonymous]We're in Barcroft and like a PP, we didn't start out looking in S. Arlington.  However, we found a house we liked, did a little research, and went for it.  The neighborhood has a very nice mix of families and seniors.  People are incredibly friendly (we've lived all over the country and have never seen anything like it.) People are always out walking dogs or pushing strollers.  We've never had anything taken from our yard--and one night we accidentally left the back door wide open all night after letting the dog in and my computer/purse/tv were right where we left them. Do we lock our cars?  Yes, but that's just smart. As for schools, when we moved in our kids were middle school aged so we sent them to Kenmore, the neighborhood school.  We figured if we didn't like it, we'd pull them out to Catholic school.  Kenmore was wonderful.  Great teachers and atmosphere. The arts focus has been an added bonus.  When we were looking the thing that sealed the deal were the number of people who were putting additions on their homes.  I figured if they were adding on (at Arlington prices) they liked the neighborhood enough to stay and not move away.  Oh, and great commutes to downtown DC from here.  Super easy, with quite a few options.  I've even walked home on a nice day.[/quote]
