[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just moved to Lorton (not a city on OPs list but close enough to Burke) after more than 15 years in Arlington and DC proper. It's definitely a big adjustment (my chest still gets tight sometimes driving out in the wide open streets) but I think has been a little easier given that we can't really leave the house much right now. If I had done it in normal times, I'd be MISERABLE.

Pluses: neighborhood does have a pool which will hopefully be open this summer, walking trails, several playgrounds nearby, and it is kinda nice to have ample parking for anything you need in the immediate vicinity. Also I love the physical house and all the space in it which is good since we're all here all the time. We're also walking distance to all of our schools which maybe aren't creme of the crop FCPS but  hopefully better than anything we had in DC, plus I will say it is nice not having to worry about the lottery

Minues: there is hardly anybody out and about in our neighborhood, I don't know if this is cuz of winter or Covid or both but I very rarely see my neighbors and there are never kids at the aforementioned playgrounds so we're not really making friends yet. I hope that changes when spring comes and hopefully we get some normalcy. Not having neighborhood restaurants nearby will truly sucks but it seems like my DoorDash is well populated  :lol: [/quote]

Check out Occoquan for some good restaurants. It's an easy shot down 123 or Route 1 depending on which part of Lorton you are in. [/quote]
