[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seattleite here- We moved from Wallingford in 2009 and by pure chance ended up in Del Ray. This by far the closest thing you'll find that will fit. Maybe small pockets of Arlington or Takoma Park. Everything else is pure suburban hell. Don't even consider Mclean, Reston, Falls Church, Silver Spring, Vienna.

Those places are like telling someone to move to North Gate if they were relocating to Seattle.

Ignore the hate on the schools. My daughters are excelling- oldest went to UVA with admissions to W and M, Northwestern and Denison.[/quote]

Ummm Northgate doesn’t have a metro to get you into Seattle and close-in Silver Spring is not “pure suburban hell”. It’s close to DC with good schools and some diverse housing stock in nice neighborhoods.  By the sounds of it you haven’t spent much time here. I’m glad you love Del Ray but sheesh[/quote]

lol right?  there are pockets of urbanity scattered throughout the region - Silver Spring kinda reminds me of parts of Queens where you have great transit access to "the city" and it's extremely diverse.[/quote]
