[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Wheaton for over a decade. A lot of the posts on here seem to reflect nothing more than unfortunate stereotypes of Wheaton rather than any real experience. I see it all the time on threads about Einstein, which is a really strong school in many ways.

Absolutely there are young professionals and families living in Wheaton. We socialize with each other, we mow our lawns, we discuss which of the local restaurants we prefer. We have fantastic dining options to choose from - Thai, Korean, Japanese, Peruvian, Central American, etc. Two grocery stores to choose from - Giant and Safeway - and the Target and Costco are super convenient. The public library on Georgia Ave is currently being rebuilt, nearby Wheaton regional park has rec classes (skating, tennis) and Brookside Gardens is a little paradise.

The Metro makes it easy to commute downtown (although not sure I could say the same for VA.) The houses are really affordable compared to so much around the DC area. The proximity to Georgia Ave, University Blvd, and the Beltway make is easy to get to other areas of the county as well.

Honestly OP, this forum is so quick to bash my neighborhood without really knowing it. [/quote]

Another long term Wheaton resident, household of two professionals. Most of these naysayers have likely never set foot in Wheaton. That said, a commute to DC is perfectly doable but VA would be difficult on a daily basis.[/quote]

+1   Lots of people comment with out knowing.  However, the commute to VA would be really, really bad.  [/quote]
