[quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in both. For what you describe I’d pick Arlington. For one it’s much, much smaller, so has more of a neighborhood feel. You can’t go more than 20 minutes and still be in the county so with kids, you end up knowing lots of people because they’re in the same gymnastics class at age 2, in soccer together at 6, etc. And it’s a great place to raise a family- lots of parks and playgrounds, a huge parks and rec department with tons of kids stuff. Also there aren’t big housing developments the way there are in MoCo. Arlington is mostly a grid with a few commercial streets and then everything else residential. So lots of places are walkable to metro and shops, which you won’t find in much of MoCo. The schools are for the most part good. They struggled during the pandemic and lots fled to privates, but that means many schools aren’t overcrowded anymore. [/quote]
