[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown Pike from GF to the beltway is a nightmare almost always, especially once people go back to the office.  Vienna has amazing restaurant options.  We live in McLean and find ourselves in Vienna a lot.  Only in GF to L'Auberge Chez Francois.[/quote]

So from the GF neighborhood I posted upthread, you don’t have to take GTP to 495 — you can take Rt 7, and from this neighborhood, Rt 7 to Tyson’s has always been 10 minutes (even pre-COVID).  It takes 10 minutes to get to the Rt 7 toll road entrance that takes you to 495 (cost is $3.25) or 15 minutes to the Spring Hill entrance to the toll road to 495 ($1.50) or 15 minutes to the 495 entrance further down on Rt 7 (free).  You can also take Old Dominion to 123 or GTP if it’s early. That’s why I like this neighborhood — I have lots of options when I need to go in that direction.[/quote]

Lots of Vienna posts about a community/neighborhood feel. Could you speak to that GF neighborhood’s community feel? Any young families?[/quote]

This particular neighborhood (that I referenced above) does have a good community feel, though probably not like you would get in Vienna.  We have a neighborhood list serve and there are weekly happy hours in the summer (a different family hosts each week).  As the older residents move on, young families are moving in.  There are a lot of kids at the bus stops for elementary.  I don’t have young kids anymore — and I’m an introvert — so it’s hard for me to measure what is/is not a community feel, but people are friendly, lots of people walk the neighborhood, there are a lot of pets, etc.  I will say there is no drama, really.[/quote]
