[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Lyon Village with small children for many years before moving away for DH's job. There were a lot of things to love and I had a great time while we were there but I wouldn't move back to that neighborhood. If I were moving back to the area, I would move to Upper Georgetown or Palisades or Capitol Hill and just contend with the busses where need be. Lyon Village is a little "young" (too many drunk 20-somethings milling about), and there is a very disconnected vibe among North Arlington parents. Westover/East Falls Church is a very long commute and the houses are generally unattractive IMO. If pubic transit was of no concern, I would definitely live in Glen Echo and Bannockburn (am I thinking of the right neighborhood).

How long ago did you move away?  The area is so different in just the last year.  You wouldn't even recognize it if it has been over 1 year.  The neighborhood is filled with families 30-50 year old parents and young kids...the sidewalks and parks are filled with them.  The 20somthings are only out in the wee hours at night and they don't come in the neighborhood since the parking has been changed to 24-hour resident only parking.  Also- the new restaurants cater to an older crowd---expensive, more upscale than the whitlows, cheesecake-types.  [/quote]
