[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also found the city of falls church to be surprisingly ugly. I was hoping I'd like it as it is appeals to me to live their because I don't love the idea of county governance. But the main commercial streets are ugly even if some of the houses are pretty. But I guess I am spoiled because I grew up in New England so I like suburbs to look like Newton or Brookline MA or Greenwich or Darien CT and realistically I don't think anything here is that pretty (too new, too much of either uncontrolled growth or that "built by a developer" feel, and no quaint, walkable town centers.)[/quote] I think if you want something quaint walkable and historic, it's pretty much either Gtown or Old town Alexandria and some blocks in DC proper with nice victorian homes and mansions. DC burbs are not quaint, old/historic at least the inner burbs, maybe if you go a bit further out there are some places that feel like towns, I am not from DC area, but this is the impression I got. All of these inner burb commercial areas are relatively new and have been built with car use in mind.[/quote]
