:?: Its in Arlington only about a mile from Crystal City. That reminds me, I'm never taking directions from you again.

South arlington...... commute from there to sterling will suck a big one.

Eh, its 30 minutes from the N. Kensington house and 42 minutes from the S.Arlington house. Farther for sure but not a huge difference. The 3131 Piedmont place is 34 minutes and the 5200 32nd St is 32 minutes.
Guess it depends on how much traffic is on the roads getting onto 66.
- .RJ - 01-03-2006
Traffic getting from that area up to GW parkway and 66 can be a real mess in the mornings...

that is nearly 50% longer
that is like saying the difference between.... a 200hp car and a 300hp car is not a huge difference

Yeah but you're not starting out with a huge number. If it was a 1 hour drive and you were gonna spend an extra half hours, that's a lot. 12 minutes is not a lot. However, I imagine that would balloon during rush hour so that might not be tenable.
The location would be killer for me since I could just bike or ride a moped to work but if that is absolutely untenable for you then no biggie.
- Mike - 01-03-2006
yeah, north arlington is pretty important for me. closer to everything (aside from your work) and far safer.

- G.Irish - 01-03-2006
So should we be looking closer to West Falls Church then?
- Beej - 01-03-2006
It's not that big of a deal. I'm in East Falls Church now, and where we're looking is cool with me.
- Mike - 01-04-2006
north arlington/east falls church/ballston/clarendon is money.

I would agree with you for the most part - it is much nicer to be closer in than EFC. A great area with some older homes is on Washington Blvd. between Sycamore and Glebe. Another area to look into is off of Pershing between Glebe and Clarendon.
- G.Irish - 01-04-2006
Ok we have an appointment with the realtor at the 3131 Piedmont St house at 12:30. After that we can hit the 5200 32nd St. house (about 5-8 minutes away).
- John - 01-04-2006
The one on 32nd St. is only a few blocks away from where I used to live (on the corner of Williamsburg/Little Falls/Sycamore. Great area - however there's a decent amount of traffic on Little Falls so it will be noisier than the one on Piedmont. The Piedmont neighborhood is quite wooded... however, your neighbors may be complain more of the noise you all generate from working on cars and from all the busted piles you leave on the street.
- Mike - 01-06-2006
i'm going to make an appoitnment to see the kensington house at 2... cool?
- G.Irish - 01-06-2006
Didn't you already make an appointment?
- Mike - 01-06-2006
no, i'm talking to her... didn't set a time until you set yours.
- Mike - 01-06-2006
my chick has a 2pm so she said just call her after it and we can meat up.
