[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burke Station Square!

It's a closed loop of a neighborhood, which means no through traffic, so kids ride bikes and play basketball in the street, cul de sacs do cook outs in the middle of the houses, etc.  We have community events--a halloween parade and carnival, back to school donuts, end of school ice cream/popsicle party.  The pool brings together all the local families in the summer.  We have a tennis court, basketball court, and playground in our little community park.  Neighbors wave and stop and say hi when they're walking.  We have regular neighbor dinners on rotating decks. 
 My mom says it feels like her childhood when she comes to visit.

Beyond that, Burke is just a lovely little oasis from the crazy in the dc metro.  Most people use the neighborhood public schools and are happy with them.  Most families have "regular" jobs.  There's a mix of retirees, young families, dual working couples and stay at home parents.  I can go weeks without having to leave Burke/West Springfield to do anything--all my errands can be completed in a 10 minute radius.

I don't love the DMV, but I love Burke Station Square.[/quote]

I notice this when I go there to see family - so much more pleasant and down to earth than the close in mean moms tend to be. [/quote]
