[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, your anger towards Burke is a little bizarre.  It is totally ok to prefer the feel of one area over another.  We would never have considered moving to Burke before we had kids.  We ate out a lot, went to concerts, enjoyed live music, night life, etc.

After having kids, we honestly don't eat out very often at all.  If we do, it is usually at Spartans or some other local family restaurant.  If we have a date night, driving farther out for different restaurants is part of the fun.

We like the ultra safe small neighborhood feel.  I love that my 5 year old can leave in the morning and play outside with his friends for hours and hours without having to worry about his safety.  I like knowing my neighbors' names, and the names of all their kids.

I'm sure there are other neighborhoods like this.  Maybe even some parts of Vienna.  But it isn't for everyone.  It makes you seem a bit off kilter to have so much hostility towards a neighborhood.  You know it isnt an attack on you when others make different decisions, right?  [/quote]

NP here I think prior PPs have the impression that Burke isn't the up an coming area like Vienna is.  Vienna has movement/new stores/ restaurants and its very close to tysons - a lot of new stores and restaurants there.  Dining options are better near Vienna- you just won't find that many reasons to detour to Burke for good food.It's the same situation for anywhere closer to DC- in general there are more options.  Hence- why it costs more to live here and a reduced commuting time vs Burke.  Frankly, if I could work from home from anywhere, I would just go elsewhere - not Vienna (though great for kids) nor Burke.  But overall, I would try to tailor where we live based on commute time to reduce it.[/quote]
