I assume next year means 2015. BB&P will not open till 2016, etc. Anacostia's time is coming soon, but not in 2015.

I woiuld be more inclined to say Ivy City where the Hechts warehouse project is already underway. Or maybe Near NE, close to Union Market.

I was just there, Ivy City, for the first time. That MOM's is nice!

Historic Anacostia has a lot going for it. Metro, nice housing stock in a village-like setting, near the river and national park. It would be silly to choose not to live there because of Marion Barry being Ward 8 councilman, if you're willing to handle other issues facing that community.

If so, East Falls Church, near the Silver Line.

Wouldn't this be West Falls Church? East Falls Church already has a metro. Are you thinking the Haycock>Pimmit Hills area? I don't disagree if that's what you're saying.

I was thinking of the areas near the East Falls Church metro station in Arlington, not Falls Church City.

Haycock and Pimmit Hills sound good, too.

I'm more interested "in DC" than the "DC area," but I'm not going to hate on your Silver Line.

Tyson's Corner.

Woodridge is my bet. We'll see. RIA picking up steam (slowly but surely)

Between Brightwood and Takoma DC.

I think that anywhere with houses available for under $500,000 is going to see significant interest from buyers, particularly if near a metro station. In NE, this will be Riggs Park/North Michigan Park and the area around the Rhode Island Metro. Any other opinions?
