Comments about Arlington - Crystal City

S Arlington Ridge Road (Submitted by A K)

It is a great place to live - 5 min walk to the Metro stop, access to all major highways, a short walk to grocery stores, mall, and everything else you can possibly need, even a library. The place is close to downtown D.C. (3 miles?) yet it has a feel of a quiet neighbourhood. It is also extremely safe.
