[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Arlington- near ballston and have to drive to hs.
Everything else is walkable- but really if I am doing a real shopping trip I am not walking back from Harris teeter or target with 5 bags.
I guess the nice thing about living here is that if I do drive anywhere in the county or dc max is 20 minutes, normally under 10.[/quote]

We live about 2 blocks from two grocery stores.  We usually walk.  But drive for big Costco runs.  Kids walked to elementary and sometimes home from middle school.  They often biked to middle school.  High school they could have walked, but take Metro to a private.

And I agree the biggest benefit is how close we are to everything.  My 80 year old mother and friend parked at my house so I could drive them to and from the Kennedy center and it was less than 10 minutes each way.

It's a very central location for our kids' sports teams that play all over the DMV.

The draw back is the price.  Around us it's impossible to do under about $1.6 million to start (and that's for very tiny, likely needed renovation).[/quote]
