[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Burke/Springfield and more or less stumbled into buying our first house in the same area a few years after college based on what we could afford. It was the right financial decision, but we both hated it. The commute, the lack of walkability... everything. We moved much closer in and love where we are now. When we were the previous house, I felt embarrassed running into people I knew from HS. Like "yep, I guess I'm back here and haven't really moved on" even though I had a masters by that point, had lived out of state previously, and had a good job. It just felt very trapped. I'm glad the OP liked their neighborhood growing up, but I think there's some value in moving on, too.[/quote] X100000 I would totally be embarrassed, Mclean or anywhere. [/quote]
