[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you both work in DC and metro is important to you as well as a small town feel and prettier tree lined streets, then why don't you look in Bethesda/CC MD?  The schools are great, there is more of a town feel to downtown Bethesda and the area of NWDC and border of MD is much prettier than metro accessible Arlington.

Arlington will be a tough choice for you, because the prettier parts are further from the Metro and near metro the options of quaint streets are pretty limited and extremely expensive, where your 1.2 mil will get you disappointing quality and super small if non existent yard.  Arlington originally was even uglier and consisting of large blvds lined with car dealerships and strip malls, it was essentially cross roads due to its central location in the DC metro area.  It kind of grew rapidly around the Orange line, [b]but the old parking lots, dealerships and warehouses and busy expressways still remain.[/b]  [/quote]

jeezus-- it's been a long time since you've been to Arlington.[/quote]

Nope, they still remain.   Busy intersections, cut through traffic and unsightly strip malls are still plentiful even if it has improved a lot over the last few years.  Let's be honest, Arlington has never had a reputation of a quaint pretty town.   10 years ago, this was the place people went to when they wanted cheaper living and easier commutes and it was full of low income apartments and crap box houses.  There also were a lot more immigrants than yuppies in late 90s   This was my impression, I don't live in Arlington and don't go there very often you are right, but when I go, I see changes, but it's still not all that, it just became very expensive because of its convenient location.
