[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Pimmit Hills and find it quite walkable. We are in the middle of the neighborhood and walk regularly to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Safeway, and Lost Dog. We also walk to Olney Park and the smaller park on Griffith so DS can play. The library too. Pre-kid, we walked or biked pretty regularly up 7 to Giant or the W&OD, and to metro.

It's not as walkable as Clarendon. I lived there before PH and to be honest would move back in a minute - it's a totally different vibe. I am not a raving fan of Pimmit Hills - I can't put my finger on it but I haven't met a ton of folks and don't feel a great sense of community. It may be me. I'd also like a bigger house and a garage.

But, it's definitely walkable if you want it to be. [/quote]

As someone who looked in PH when we were buying, this is a pretty objective and fair assessment.

If you love Clarendon, PH isn't likely to be for you. But it's not a bad place to live. Just not a walkable, dense, exciting area. It's an excellent small-town suburbs sort of area.

We ended up stretching and buying in N Arlington because we were like OP, but I can definitely see that PH has its own merits.[/quote]
