[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, (north) Arlington is the best area in the dmv to live.
Car use is non existent if you live near the metro (where it is the most urban).  
Tons of parks and things to do.  I mean even people drive from around the dmv to use their skate park.  It is a small area, super expensive but seems to something for everyone.

Also tons of jobs in Arlington and out to tysons.  
Be forewarned- getting into Arlington can be hell at any given time, so just do not leave the Arlington bubble too often and you will be fine.[/quote]

Hilarious.  If you want urban, DC is better.  If you want suburban, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Great Falls, McLean, and Potomac are better.

Arlington is neither fish nor fowl.  You get all the concrete of the city without the culture or history and all the insularity of the suburbs without the space or privacy.  And the schools aren't great, either - there isn't a single high school in Arlington in the top 10 in Virginia. [/quote]
If you have to commute into dc from any of the places you list as suburbs there’s a substantial difference. Also if you have a kid with an iep. [/quote]
