[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't seen it mentioned so I'll put in a plug for Arlington Forest.  Parish is St. Thomas More Cathedral, which is a vibrant community (though we regularly attend St. Agnes which has a good school and other things like an amazing Scout troop).  I can run to work on an ambitious day (it's a 10k to downtown), walk to Ballston metro, and there are tons of parks and bike paths around.  Plus, Arlington Forest Club, which is a non-snooty swim and tennis club, and Lubber Run Community Center and amphitheater with a free summer concert series.  Oh and also, a great community of neighbors who are always there to help each other out, but don't get into your business (and no HOA).  They have a bunch of quaint, old fashioned community events throughout the year, too.  Seriously - it's the best neighborhood in Arlington IMO.[/quote]

Oh and some other things.  :)  The houses were all built to be about the same (brick colonials) but people have done really interesting things with them since the 1940s, and it is a really eclectic place now.  Also it was one of the first "planned" communities and the streets were made to be wide but also curvy, and that really improves the aesthetic.
