 Housing Reviews: Oakwood Falls Church
Falls Church (City of Falls Church) schools are top-notch too, though you can also access them by living in an individual townhouse or apartment rental.
However if I didn't have a car I think I could get by just fine here as well, since the East Falls Church metro station is about 2/3 mile away, which I consider to be in walking distance, and there are shuttles to the FSI and to the metro.
Since this is my first time in the Washington area I have nothing locally to compare the Oakwood to, but I found the place to be perfectly fine for what it is. There may be better places around, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this one.

 Falls Church News-Press - WestLee Condos Ready; East F.C. Metro Region Braces for a Boom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The East Falls Church station is suddenly among the hottest development location prospects in Northern Virginia, based on last year’s decision by Metro to use that station as the transfer point onto the system’s projected Silver Line through Tysons Corner, and eventually to Dulles Airport and beyond.
Officials in the City of Falls Church are also now better recognizing the potential of that end of their City for economic development.
That’s because plans for a major redevelopment of the City Center in Falls Church, located a half-mile down the road and away from the Metro, is stalled indefinitely by the current $10 million per acre real estate asking price by local property owners.

 Metro Responds on Escalators, Parking - Get There
Lena said she talked to Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel, who told her that official policy would be that bikers should go to next station with a working elevator.
Metro doesn't want people with bikes using the escalators for safety reasons, envisioning a bad outcome for other passengers if a biker lost hold on a bike and it fell down the escalator.
Taubenkibel and the other members of Metro's public information unit respond to many of our questions, but they ask for as much information as we can possibly provide: rail line, Metrobus route, the direction, time of day and location, for example.

Recently advanced design plans for the Metro rail to Dulles Airport, which will include important stops in Tysons Corner, have triggered a veritable stampede of developer and land speculator interest in a large area enveloping the East Falls Church station.
