    I love this small little area in Virginia. The neighborhoods track to some of the best schools in the state, have an amazing bike trail run through the middle, and is a great middle ground between Vienna, Tyson's, and Merrifield.

    As I mentioned a little earlier, this area is great because there are so many things to do. Every type of store or restaurant is five minutes driving distance. Additionally, there are so many activities to do. However, the area is extremely congested, and it is only getting worse. Traffic and noise are always a reality.
    It is a nice town in NOVA. There is a wide variety of housing. The townhouse are sweet and the houses range from small to large.
