[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were in your shoes, I would choose (based on current friends and local knowledge in Arlington alone)

-Williamsburg/Yorktown neighborhoods.. Once the new elementary school is built, the schools won't be as over-crowded and you "hopefully" don't have to worry about getting rezoned for elementary, middle or high schools.

-Lyon Village - in Clarendon - amazing location with restaurants, bars, tons of parks all within walking distance. Great schools, but some complain about the bar-crawls seeping into their neighborhoods.. not sure I would want to have teenagers in that area.

other neighborhoods are supposed to be fantastic as well: Cherrydale, Jamestown/Country Club Hills, Donaldsun Run. I just am not as knowledgeable about these locations. [/quote]

Don't bother with anything in Arlington.  Expensive, overrated, and poor value for the money for anyone working in Reston.[/quote]

It's a reverse commute to Reston, and if there are children in the school system, Arlington fits the bill for most of what the OP is looking for. There are amazing sports, after school activities and enrichments, and an amazing community feel in all the schools. Not to mention tons of restaurants across all cultures and tastes. [/quote]

It's a reverse commute but the commute still sucks because it gets backed up at the tolls and where it intersects with 495. [/quote]
