[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. [b]Don’t think Vienna would elicit the hate if some people didn’t talk it up quite so much.[/b] Lived there for a decade and it’s fine but typical suburbia - not much different than many other places in the DC area, except part of it has its own town council and it has more congestion. People will say it’s family friendly because it has a lot of SAHMs, youth sports are big, and it’s a way to try and differentiate Vienna from more expensive places closer to DC. But depending on OP’s budget and interests it could be a good choice. The larger lots are generally going to be in 22181 and 22182, not 22180. [/quote] Exactly this. Another former Vienna resident. Yes, the town was fine to live in. Good neighborhoods and lots of family-friendly opportunities. Was it better than the dozens and dozens of other places across Arlington and Fairfax that offer similar opportunities? No. I don't get why Vienna residents feel the need to talk up the town constantly on DCUM. Yes, it's a nice place, but it also suffers from bad traffic congestion and has a collection of strip malls and small office parks that constitute a "downtown" along Maple Ave.[/quote]
