[quote=Anonymous]I stuck it out for 12 years when I did the same thing, though I was at least able to walk to some stores and restaurants and a couple of playgrounds. For me, the fact that my mortgage was fairly cheap was a driver in me staying so long. I didn't really connect with more than 3 of the neighboring houses, in part because all my friends lived in DC or Arlington so I didn't actually spend much time at home in Fairfax. I finally bailed because the commute kept getting longer and I couldn't take it anymore. Try to give it a year. If you have kids in the schools, that should help you meet some folks, especially if they are elementary age and you can sign up for activities like rec soccer or scouting.[/quote]
