Alexandria and Annandale, specifically. They're similarly crowded. The commute into DC from Vienna is ridiculous; I've never seriously considered living there. I currently commute from Fredericksburg to downtown DC, and while it's long, the vast majority of it can be done relatively cheaply on Amtrak, where there's wifi. Fredericksburg is far nicer to live in than most points closer to DC.
- oinksoft 14y agoAlexandria and Annandale are not remotely alike ... Annandale is purely suburban and is the Korean cultural center of the east coast ... Alexandria is an old city with grid streets, Metro service, beside a river, etc. etc.
- randallsquared 14y agoThey're very alike. They both have metro service (Annandale has Dunn Loring, which I used all last winter, so I assure you it exists). The parts of Alexandria I've lived in are very similar, both the landmark mall area and the huntington area. There's a tiny portion of Alexandria up against the river with grid streets, but the bulk of it is more like Annandale than not.
- oinksoft 14y agoThe parts you mention are largely in Alexandria, Fairfax County, not The City of Alexandria, and they are quite different too. In any case because of its huge Korean influence, I don't know of any place in the area that is at all like Annandale.
