[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The neighborhood that feeds Tuckahoe elementary.[/quote]

wouldn't that be arlington?

or when you say EFC do you mean the area around EFC metro? [/quote]

There is a neighborhood called East Falls Church in Arlington.  I'm not sure exactly what the boundaries are, but if you drive up Sycamore St. there is a sign, between Washington Blvd. and Lee Highway, that indicates the East Falls Church neighborhood.  I would guess it goes north from there, to include Tuckahoe Park, and the houses that surround it.

There's also a few other neighborhoods that are walkable to East Falls Church metro in Arlington- Highland Park and Overlee Knolls, Leeway/Overlee and Madison Manor to name a few.  Right now I think they're all zoned for Tuckahoe or McKinley elementary, then Swanson and Yorktown.  Perhaps some areas were rezoned for Nottingham.I live in one of those neighborhoods and we like it a lot.  The neighborhood continues east to Westover, but as you get over there it gets less walkable to EFC (about 15 minutes).  We used to live in Bethesda, so I can compare a bit.  I think that part of Arlington is, as someone above mentioned, a bit more modest than most parts of Bethesda.  In my opinion, it also skews more to younger families and I have found the people to be somewhat more laid back and friendly, but that's just my experience.  Agree with the PP re block parties, etc.  I'm not sure exactly what part of Bethesda or CC you're talking about- obviously if you're near downtown, there is much, much more going on than in Westover, which is really the closest commercial strip to us.  There are tons of parks and playgrounds, which we absolutely love.

Oh- I think much of the parking at EFC metro is by permit, and there's a long wait.  From those neighborhoods it's also really easy to access the Custis Trail, if you are ever interested in commuting downtown by bike.[/quote]
