[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying that Westover makes that part of Arlington walkable is like saying that the areas in Sterling by Cascades shopping center (which has significantly more than Westover) are walkable.[/quote]

If you live in a safe walking distance to either of those areas then I'd say both areas are &quot;walkable&quot;. Can you safely cross the streets at the Sterling Center and are there sidewalks?

I consider &quot;walkable&quot; to be areas walkable (roughly &lt;=1/2 mile) to a concentrated area of destinations. What's your definition?

Yes, there are a number of neighborhoods, all connected by sidewalks. There are also neighborhoods in Great Falls that can walk to a small shopping center.  I am sure this is true in other places in Loudoun and Fairfax counties.

I just do not understand why Westover is always hailed as one of the few walkable areas in VA where it is really just a shopping center and there are tons of other areas that offer that same very limited walkability.  I guess it is because it is a more expensive are and people like the Great Schools rating.  [/quote]
