[quote=Anonymous]Come to Arlington! Our family moved here about 5 years ago from a large metropolitan area and we are happy to have settled here. We considered McLean and Vienna quickly came to realize that Arlington was a good fit for us. We take advantage of being so close to DC for the museums, pro sports, and other cultural offerings. Generalizing here but we have found that the people who live in Arlington are well educated, into health and fitness, have interesting and diverse jobs, and live for experiences like travel (you will see that whenever the schools are closed even for one day to make a three day weekend, people leave to take their kids camping, up to NYC, etc). Another thing that is nice about Arlington is that there are nature trails in and around Arlington. There are so many old growth trees around here. A friend who came to visit from Chicago couldn’t believe all the trees we have in our neighborhood. Speaking of neighborhood, one of the things we noticed in Arlington over McLean was that Arlington has sidewalks and I do believe that it makes a neighborhood more cohesive. Our kids go to public schools here and they are doing well academically and socially. We live in N Arlington and the housing costs are getting ridiculous. But if you are willing to live in an older home that is smaller by N Arlington standards (so still quite large coming from the Bay Area), you can definitely get a house with $1.3m.     [/quote]
