No place is perfect. Schools and activities for kids are great in Fairfax County. People are highly educated. You come to appreciate neighbors and friends here. There are some really nice parks and rec centers in Fairfax. You can find just about any activity. [/quote]

Where do you live that your neighbors are also friends? This area is famously unfriendly, especially to people without kids.[/quote]

I live in Alexandria city and have plenty of neighbors as friends. We even close down our street a few times a year for a block party. We have kids but have even become friends with our retired neighbors.

I don’t know exactly what made our street and some neighboring streets conducive to this, but apparently the street has been this way for decades.

I suppose the houses built in the 1940s are close together, many people have dogs, and those with elementary students walk their kids to school up the street, and most people don’t have garages (those that do, the garage is only large enough for a mini cooper) so you end up seeing your neighbors frequently compared to some neighborhoods where everyone drives in and out of their garages and rarely steps into their front yard or walks anywhere.[/quote]
