[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved from Del Ray, Alexandria to Falls Church. City of Alexandria has a lot more character and Del Ray has a unique, small town, laid back friendly atmosphere. It was a really wonderful place to live. It was a difficult decision but we left because the flooding is really, really awful and not limited to Del Ray - a lot of blocks in Rosemont, Old Town, and even hilly areas on Russell Rd and Warwick Village have flooding issues even after investing in French drain systems, etc. Many drainage contractors won't even work in Del Ray because they know there isn't anywhere to direct the water, that the systems will fail.

The Falls Church, Fairfax County neighborhoods that zone to Haycock/Longfellow/McLean schools are really good values - you get a nicer house than in FCC or City of Alexandria neighborhoods and excellent schools, plus good metro or driving commute options. There are some really beautiful established neighborhoods around Sleepy Hollow and other Falls Church, Fairfax County areas but the schools aren't ranked as well and you don't have as close access to the metro compared with FCC or the Haycock area.[/quote]

I just love it when the flooding poster finds a Del Ray thread. It makes her so happy.

Her dedication and commitment to spreading lies on a web page is, honest to God, straight up psychotic.[/quote]

New poster here but Del Ray flooding is pretty well known issue. Here’s a very recent snippet from ALX Now:

Danielle Reynolds has actually gotten therapy because of the summer flooding of her Del Ray basement. The family is stuck in a quandary, as moving away isn’t affordable, but neither is spending tens of thousands to continually redo their basement.[/quote]
