[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The major draw of DC as a city is that it is medium-density, walkable, and has many high paying jobs.  You can live in the city and not own a car but still don't have to be in that sort of suffocating, NYC level density. If you must live the life of detached SFH, look at close-in northwest (Cleveland park, glover, etc.).  There is really no major benefit of being in Arlington over any other semi walkable suburban area.  Walkability in Arlington is not the same as walkability in, say, Cambridge. It's mostly a lie.  Yes there are sidewalks, but very few people have the ability to actually walk to the grocery store for a daily shop.

I can and do walk to three different grocery stores (giant, WF and Trader Joe's) in Arlington. Lots of people can walk to a grocery store in Arlington. I see tons of people walking home from Trader Joe's in my neighborhood.[/quote]

Yes, some have that ability. But indeed that number is very low.  Basically just lyon village, lyon park, and then houses that happen to be within half mile of a grocery store.  [/quote]

Quincy Park North checking in, we have 2 Giants, a Safeway, WF, TJ within 1/2 mile.[/quote]
