[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will come out once for a housewarming party. They may come out for major events. These are not people that you will see on a weekly or monthly basis anymore unless you drive into DC. [/quote]

This. We made this move to Arlington two years ago. We still see the party-oriented friends--we make an effort to come to their DC parties, they make an effort to come to ours.  But what it really did was strengthen my friendships with VA people who it's now much easier to see, and open me up ththe world of people who made the move in previous years and are now my neighbors. Look for neighborhoods that have listservs, associations, elementary schools, babysitting co-ops.  Mine in S. Arlington has all that. [/quote]

Can you give some examples of S. Arligton neighborhoods with lots of families, associations, block parties etc? We just moved to N Arligton with a toddler and quickly realized we probably can't afford a house anywhere around here. I son'y know much about S Arlington yet.[/quote]
