[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We currently live and work in dc, and I never thought the suburbs would be appealing to me.  I love so much about dc.  That said, I crave an easier pace with more space.  I’d love to look out a window into trees.   I’d love to play in a backyard instead of pack up for the park every once in a while.   City living is just feeling hard lately with kids.

What are some suburbs/neighborhoods that have a sweet downtown or strip of stores (e.g. not downtown silver spring), that feel green, neighborly and community oriented?[/quote]

Barcroft, Arlington (the 4th parade was so quaint and fun). Stores at the new Centro development won’t open until later this year, though.

That said, what you seek describes most neighborhoods in Arlington. Almost each one has some stores nearby, probably walkable, backyards big enough for a swing set, and parks in walking distance if you want to meet up with other parents and kids. Many are close to trails and larger open green spaces like the nature centers. I don’t know where you’re commuting or what your budget is, or I’d have more specific recommendations. [/quote]
