I get why some people don't like it, but it truly was a wonderful place for us when our daughter was young. All the trails and pools and places to play came in handy. And it was close enough to all the amenities we needed.

Close to enough to amenities but really, really, really, really, really far away from DC.


Yes, far from DC. But not far from the Tech capital of the east coast. (Dulles corridor)

I can see hating the corner of Wisconsin and M Streets. But there's much more to it than the shopping strip. And it's pretty wonderful.
