[quote=Anonymous]Back to the OPs original question -she is looking for walkable neighborhoods with good schools. I have live all over northern virginia. My opinion:

* Alexandria has many great walkable locations. Schools are spotty and you would have to seriously consider going private

* Vienna areas already mentioned are lovely and walkable. Great schools. More house and more yard for your money than Arlington

*Burke - very family friendly. Lots of families that have lived there for generations plus lots of military.

* Arlington - where I live now, so, of course, biased. 
lots of urban feel in most neighborhoods. The neighborhoods that are less urban (by Marymount) are also less walkable. You have to drive in your car to get to most stores.

- Clarendon/Courthouse - lots of walkability but very expensive

- anything west of Ballston down Wilson or Washington Blvd is your best bet for what's left in affordability in N Arlington. Bluemont, Bon Air, Dominion Hills, Madison Manor, Westover. Great walkability. Lots of great bike trails, schools are great, able to walk to most stores, never have to leave Arlington to get what you need.
