I have fond memories of being able to walk or bike to all kinds of kid stuff: Daniel's Run Elementary, Country Club Hills (CCH) pool, Daniel's Run Park, Fairfax High School, Van Dyke Park and on and on. CCH pool has recently undergone a major renovation, and more renovations are in the works. Daniels Run Elementary has also recently been upgraded, and there are new things going up at Van Dyke Park, as reported here on OurFairfax.com. As my mom and brother still live in the neighborhood, so I was up there during Christmas and Thanksgiving. I noticed on an afternoon run that a new playground is being built in Daniels Run Park. From this neighborhood you can also quickly access the Vienna Metro Station, Metrobus, Army Navy Country Club, and a bunch of restaurants (some, like Artie's, within walking distance). The only negative I can think of is the traffic when Fairfax High is just about to start classes, or right after dismissal. All in all, a wonderful neighborhood and a great place to raise a family: Take it from someone who experienced it first hand.
