[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Arlington Forest, walkable to Ballston (DD and nanny can walk to the library, pool at W-L, ice skating rink in the mall, and everything else in Ballston). Neighbors are extremely close and welcoming, we have block parties, a Halloween parade, going-away parties and housewarmings, community association picnic, a neighborhood babysitting exchange, and it's overall very "vibrant" -- lots of kids playing outside in their lawns, a couple playgrounds that are always busy, a mix of SAHPs, WAHPs, and WOHPs. Good schools, more diverse than the mostly all-white schools in Westover (if that's appealing to you - it was to us as our family is intercultural). Lots of cool families with different backgrounds (we are only one of a big range of families who are half American, half European/half Asian/half South American/half African, seems like a lot of foreign service people live around here). Lots of kids who know multiple languages. Lots of friendly and sweet older kids who are nice to toddlers on the playgrounds.[/quote]

The only issue with  all the foreign service kids is that  they move every few years.[/quote]
