[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to be honest, on one hand it sounds nice to be able to walk to a grocery store or cvs, but on the other hand, do I really want a busy commercial center near my neighborhood?  attracts noise, cars, dirtbags, pollution and crime.  its not really a slam dunk.[/quote]

I've lived in two neighborhoods in NoVA that are close to a "busy commercial center"  I can tell you that these are not issues we have dealt with.  Sure, if your house is the first one behind the shopping center, you might get some noise, but it has been a wonderful thing as a young family to NOT have to pile into the car for every little thing in life.  Not every shopping center is created equal - there are definitely some that are better than others.  But other than the parking lots at the centers being a little busy, we have no complaints and saw shopping centers closeby as a plus in our most recent house search.  One of our favorite activities in the summer is walking up the street for ice cream/froyo.[/quote]

yeah, I hear you.  I live in Vienna off Hunter Mill Road, but down near the Toll Road.  I would probably rather have a similar neighborhood closer to 123 and that Oakton center.[/quote]
