[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd suggest Town of Vienna.  Dh works in Tyson's and it's an easy commute for him, we moved here for mainly that reason.  Schools are great, community is fantastic.  If you can find a place close in, near Maple Ave, Center St and/or Park Ave, you would have a very walkable neighborhood. The grocery store, the library, the town green, drug store, and plenty of restaurants would be walking distance.[/quote]

Not particularly walkable and not a place where single moms will feel very welcome.  Bad suggestion. [/quote]

I have no idea why you would say it's not walkable.  That's absurd.  On any given day, you would find people walking around.  To the school, to the drugstore, to the W&OD trail. Teens walk over to Chipotle and Starbucks all the time since that's their local hangout, older kids walking over to the teen club at the community center.  I don't like driving everywhere, the walkability of Vienna was a huge draw for me.  If you live farther from the center, than yes there is less to walk to, but I was pretty clear about where to look if walkability is important.

Also saying single moms would not feel welcome is bizarre.  It's family oriented for all families, not just 2 parent households.  There are single parents here as well as families with grandparents living with them.  There are also plenty of senior citizens and empty nesters.  That's the best thing about this neighborhood.  Not every home has the standard 2 parents, 2 young kids that you would find in some communities.

GL with your move OP.

LOL.  Vienna is mostly one long strip mall along Route 123 with terrible traffic.  It's also VERY conservative.   I would not want to be a single mom and live there. [/quote]
