[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard for me to picture OP pushing one of those wheeled shoppers down the sidewalk to her walkable 1.1 mil house.

OP please define what is walkable to you.

I live in an 850k house in Oak Hill. It is a “walkable” neighborhood in the sense that there are safe sidewalks, little car traffic, and the neighborhood is pleasant to walk around in with friendly neighbors also walking around. But I don’t really do any walks besides dog walking. However, the pool and tennis club and shopping center with many amenities are a short bike or car ride away without having to use any major roads. My kids ride their bikes plenty of places and take the bus to school. So while we have a car, we are not in it that much. But I don’t go out to drink at bars or get coffee. We do that stuff at home. Maybe that’s what OP wants or thinks she wants.

If I had 1.1 mil, I’d look at Franklin Farm and enjoy walking in that neighborhood.

Vienna might have a lot of shops and restaurants crammed in, but I’d hardly call Maple Ave a place I’d want to walk around.

I have no idea what the illegal immigrant poster is on about. [/quote]
I'm the OP. We currently are within <15 min walk to a Trader Joe's, a CVS, a park with a playground, and a bunch of restaurants. I would consider that very walkable. Having access to the park only would not be walkable IMO.[/quote]

You can get all of this in Oak Hill or Reston if you are walking distance to either the Franklin Farm, Fox Mill, Hunter Woods, or South Lakes shopping centers. Not a Trader Joe's, but other grocery stores with a larger variety of foods.[/quote]
