[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The commute from Vienna Station to DC is 30 minutes, 45 if you need to go deeper in DC.  It's easy and you always get a seat. Driving is a different story, but if you live close to the train station there is no need to ever drive.  Its been great - we are DC transplants ourselves.[/quote]

And another 30 minutes spent on the front and back end. Best case scenario is an hour door to door. Hard pass.

Plus, you are in suburbia hell in Vienna.[/quote]

If PP lives close the station like she said, then there is no extra 30 minutes on the front and back end. If you're driving into downtown DC from Falls Church or northern McLean, you've got both traffic and parking to worry about. No thanks, metro any day for me. [/quote]

DP.  I don't doubt the commute can be less than an hour depending on the proximity to the Vienna metro, or close to an hour or more in some cases.

But the shortest commute to DC from Vienna puts you in a townhouse with lots of stairs and not much of a yard.  Falls Church and McLean have neighborhoods with both single-family houses and townhouses that are a short drive to Metro stations and a shorter drive to DC than from Vienna.

Do those Falls Church/McLean SFHs have fewer stairs? Are they not 3-4 levels?

True that the yard isn't big, but it's zero maintenance and the kids just play in the common areas and the park, which is less than a block away. [/quote]
