[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up MD and moved to Vienna 13 years ago. We looked at Bethesda but fell in love with Vienna for the community, schools, recreational options, and relatively lower housing costs. Check out the Town of Vienna website for all of the activities from Viva Vienna to Chillin' on Church. These events bring out the families. Also, for a small town, there are surprisingly a lot of good non-franchised restaurants.

Within the Town of Vienna, it is very walkable especially now that the town is installing more sidewalks thanks to the generous donation from a long-time town resident. When my daughter was younger, she walked to Vienna ES and then to the Rec Center next door for after school activities. Now she walks to her MS and we drive her to after school sports/activities that are 5-10 mins away. The HS we're zoned to is less than 10 mins' drive. We find that most of the places that we need to visit regularly are around Vienna.

[b]Traffic on Maple Ave, the main street that cuts through Vienna is bad during rush hour but most of the residents know how to avoid this.

For $2M, you can get a new custom built SFH with a nice yard. Your budget will go further here than McLean or Bethesda.[/quote]

It's not just residents, but others, who have identified (or whose apps have identified) the potential short-cuts, and all it means is that some residential streets end up with the same horrible traffic as Maple Avenue.  Traffic in Vienna is really bad. [/quote]
Traffic is bad in Vienna, but traffic is bad in most of the most desirable walkable areas throughout the DMV, be it Vienna, Falls Church City, Ballston, Clarendon, Bethesda, or anywhere in DC.

If it’s a place people want to go, traffic will more than likely be painful.[/quote]
