[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Town of Vienna baby! When we toured we were told kids walk to ES (one of 3) and high school. They were not able to walk to MS, because it was 2-3 miles away depending on “neighborhood” - 10 min drive at 35 mph through the neighborhoods and with the stop lights. We didn’t buy there, but it was intriguing. Also grocery stores, dentist, pediatrician, nail salons, restaurants, etc are all less than a mile away. [/quote] I don't think Vienna is what people think of when they talk about walkability. Yes, you can technically walk down Maple Ave, aka Chain Bridge Rd, aka Highway 123 to get a long series of strip malls, but people don't really do that all that much. You can walk/bike down W&OD, but most people don't want to walk that far and that doesn't give a lot of options that are close by. And then the schools are pretty spread out. So, yeah, I think Vienna is definitely a car-centric place.[/quote]
