[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love Fort Hunt. It's a very pretty part of the area, with lots of access to trails, parks, the river, etc. The neighborhoods are older so big trees, sidewalks, mature landscaping. Lots of kids on bikes and basketball hoops in the street.

It has a great community feel. People are friendly and there are lots of opportunities to get involved, be it in youth sports, community theater, churches, the schools. Most neighborhoods have active pools, which are a lot of fun in the summer. The people we have met are generally very nice, low key, social, and not super competitive, which is not what we experienced in other parts of this area.

We love the proximity to Old Town and my commute into DC is truly not bad. It's also a pretty drive up the park way.

Some of the often-cited negatives have been fine for us. The Rt. 1 corridor is not the prettiest but it has the stores we need and all are accessible. Some people on here pan the schools but we have had a fantastic experience in elementary and our neighbors are happy with the middle or high school. My friends in other schools that are better scored on Great Schools actually seem to have had worse experiences.

The housing stock is on the older side but we find it charming and love our house and neighbors. [/quote]

+1 to all of this in the Fort Hunt/22308 area! The Hollin Hall Village area is walkable to the grocery store, hardware store, bakery, small restaurants, the library, etc. The housing stock is older and varies from small ranchers to big new modern farmhouse style rebuilds. Nice neighbors and I like the schools. All of the big box stores like Costco and Home Depot are nearby. [/quote]
