[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live in S. Arlington, but there are really nice, friendly and slightly cheaper neighborhoods.  [b]Maybe someone can represent?  [/b]The schools are still quite good in many cases.  And I understand more diverse.  I have a friend that lives close to Columbia Pike in a neighborhood with plenty of kids and she can walk to restaurants.  Wish I could remember the name of the neighborhood!  Parks unite a lot of neighborhoods.  Check out the Arlington County website for parks and look at surrounding neighborhoods.  Madison Manner has a big Halloween bonfire and other activities in the park.[/quote]

I'm happy to represent.  :)

We live in Arlington Heights (22204) which is just south of Rte. 50.  We absolutely love it.  I just counted in my head and there ere are about 30 children just in our two block radius and all are between the ages of a few months and 12.  There is a really strong sense of community.  There are block parties in the summer and a Halloween parade/party every fall.  Most of the children in the neighborhood go to Patrick Henry.  There are some children that go to Key Immersion, Campbell, or Drew Model for Montessori, but most go to Henry.  Another county-wide option for elementary school is ATS.  Some neighbors also do Catholic school (St. Thomas More and St. Agnes).  Our neighbor's with middle school aged children go to TJ and also to Gunston (for the Spanish Immersion).  They all seem very happy.

We can walk to the library, Columbia Pike, the farmer's market, and Clarendon.  William Jeffery's Tavern just opened on the Pike and it's really good. Cathal Armstrong is also opening up a 2nd location of Eamonn's on the Pike and Todd Thrasher of PX is opening a bar along with Cathal Armstrong.  Next door to there the owners of Taqueria El Poblano are putting in a 3rd location.  We are VERY excited.  My husband and I also love Twisted Vines which is a wine bar as well as Bangkok 54.

Yesterday, I found out that our neighbors are (sadly) moving.  Their house is going to be listed sometime this week.  It's a great house and we would LOVE for another family to move in.  [/quote]
