[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are seeking a vibrant family community in NW DC, Arlington or Bethesda.  A place that is truly welcoming of new comers.  A close-in village community where I can raise my elem school aged boys, and public schools are solid all the way through HS.  Where they can ride their bikes or walk to school, pool or playground.  Key here: I don't want to spend 2 hours/day commuting in traffic.  Small detached home, town home, or condo is fine as long as we can walk to some amenities and it's truly[b] a vibrant community.[/b]. Max budget $800k.  Am I asking for too much?[/quote]

What do you mean by vibrant?  I live in N. Arlington and a lot of the neighborhoods are teeming with kids and are family friendly, but I am not sure they are vibrant.  Some are more walkable than others and all the schools are good.  But often times they are very quiet during the day, and I don't see a lot of kids out and about by themselves or with friends.[/quote]

I'm 11:18 and agree with your point.  Dominion Hills is a very vibrant neighborhood with a great mix of SAHPs, WOHPs, WAHPs, child-free households and older retirees.  We have annual Egg Hunts, Fourth of July parades and Halloween festivals.  There's an active listserve and FB page.

I won't touch the other posters who are critiquing both W-L and non-DH neighborhoods like Bon Air and Bluemont since I'm not familiar with those neighborhoods.[/quote]
