[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia people: what would you say is VA’s closest analog to Silver Spring or Rockville? I’m guessing Falls Church, but I’d love to hear other ideas.

Basically the formula seems to be:
-outside the beltway, but not too far out
-some nearby urban areas with economic and ethnic diversity
-a substantial, but not hegemonic, population of educated people and the good schools that would accompany them [/quote]

Closest analog to Silver Spring is South Arlington.

Closest analog to Rockville is Burke (unless you're talking about the part of Rockville that is also considered North Bethesda, in which case the closest analog is Vienna).   [/quote]

Your Burke-Rockville analog surprised me. While they aren’t identical, as I look more closely I see a lot of similarities.

How well has South Arlington kept it’s character? I would certainly have agreed about its similarities to SS 10 years ago, but Arlington seems to have transformed in recent years.
