"Local schools that you can walk to. A store kids can buy after school treats and be safe! Mount Vernon is a historical landmark and always has great events for the community and other tourists."

"It’s a great neighborhood for kids. I would totally move here if you are looking in northern virginia. It also has great schools!"

"Against traffic. Route 1 to 95 south. 45 minutes to Stafford exit 140. North after work might add 5 minutes."

"Dog families everywhere! Great parks to let them run and play together. highly recommend this area for dog families "

"This area of only single-family detached homes is often an overlooked jewel in the Northern VA and DC metro area. Most of the area was fully built out by the end of the 1960's and the low density character of the neighborhoods will not change. Quarter and half acre lots with large trees are the norm. But you have to like that sort of thing -- the immediate area has little shopping and few restaurants. Although there are maybe 50 restaurants within 15 minutes by car, only 4 could be considered within walking distance. Awesome place to raise you children (and pets) and yet popular among retirees. The local elementary school is the Arts and Science Focus school with emphasis on science, the fine arts, choral and instrumental music, and dance and drama. The school also offers the optional Spanish language immersion program for grades 1 through 6. The next closest school offers the Gifted and Talented program (for those who qualify). Easy commute to DC by car -- but by public transportation, not so much."
