[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Vienna and like it, but if commute were no issue I'd likely live in Burke where DH grew up. I feel you get more for your money and the schools seem less high strung. I find both difficult to get around: Vienna is congested but small and pretty much a grid; Burke is maybe less congested (depends) but sprawling with few direct routes to anywhere. [/quote

I see mixed responses; what make Vienna better for commute over Burke?[/quote]

I'm the quoted PP.  In general, Vienna is the better commute to downtown DC although of course everyone's locations vary.  DH works near an Orange Line Metro stop in DC, and I commute by either 66 or 495 to a place in DC that is not near transit so I'm driving no matter what.  We live near access to 66, 495, the Dulles Toll Road, etc.  Right now we're able to live with just one car and DH takes Metro when he doesn't carpool with me; in Burke we would need two cars.

Also, if ever we manage to change jobs out of DC, Tysons is the most likely alternative location and Vienna works better for that.[/quote]
