[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol I love that the picture for Centreville is a strip mall.[/quote]

I live in Centreville. The retail is pretty much all shopping centers/strip malls, and could be better. There is a very small historic area with a few cute buildings but no nice shopping, nice strolling, etc. DH and I both work about 10 mins away from home, by car. The schools are great. We have almost an acre with a pool and a hot tub and our house is almost paid off. Our gym is like a little resort. OTOH, it is a PITA to get into DC or anywhere in MD for outings and there isn't really a "town" feeling.

Unless you are $$$$$, any area around here has some big negatives. Most people seem to weigh schools/commute/price the most.[/quote]

Centreville in general is very..paved.  Strip malls, condos, townhouses, single family homes, all built up close together but newish or at least newer than closer in.  But there is a nice and convenient movie theater, some decent nearby restaurants, the McDonald's/Burger King have the nicest play areas of any fast food establishments that I've seen in this area.  Bull Run Park is close. Easy access to 29 and 66 so you can at least get OUT of this area pretty fast which is nice.

I think that there are much prettier areas in Fairfax County.  But Centreville isn't bad.

On the other hand arlington is a Frankenstein of teardowns and mismatched houses on small lots.[/quote]

Wait, houses are supposed to match?  Says who?  The "Anti-Originality Must Be Exactly Like Your Neighbor In Every Way" Board?  WTF?  [/quote]
