[quote=Anonymous]Del Ray neighborhood in Alexandria (near Braddock metro and a couple miles from Old Town). The slogan is "Where Main Street Still Exists." On Mt. Vernon Ave., you'll find restaurants and shops where the owners know your name, an ice cream parlor with a line out the door, and a coffee shop with comnunity events. We go to the playground at the elementary school every afternoon and we always see people we know. On Saturday mornings, everyone walks to the farmer's market and has coffee. We live in the Warwick Village area, in a townhouse. These townshouses average around $400,000 for 1700 (SF), so slightly on the smaller side of what you're looking for, but put us in Del Ray so it's worth it. You can be in the city pretty quickly and we have great bus lines to the metro. The schools are decent, not super, but you definitely get the main street vibe. We know our neighbors, see them out, etc.[/quote]
