New house in vienna, next to the the most ridiculous strangest new build, does it hurt it's value?

I agree it. Someone probably posted it when the original was on the market last year.

There isn't anything sketchy about S. Vienna- go 1/4 mile down Tapawingo and you'll see some gorgeous custom homes. Most of the are has beautiful homes popping up. I wish I had the foresight to buy there years ago.

Am I the only one that sees way too many new homes sitting for long periods of time in Vienna? Seems like they built too many.

I've seen worse than the white house, but Vienna is becoming such a mishmash of fill-in new builds. Some are gorgeous and some are thrown together. When looking to buy you have to be careful of what the neighbors are doing.

For a long time, all the new builds in the Town of Vienna were really expensive. So you could find an older rambler for less than $650K or a new house for over $1.3M,, but very little in between.

The builders saw the gap and rushed to fill it with lots of new homes priced between $1.0-1.3M. Many of the newer homes there now are boxy and unimaginative. It's fine if what you're after is proximity to Town of Vienna activities and Madison HS, but I do like the newer homes in Bethesda and McLean better, but they also generally cost more.

To put this in perspective, here are examples of the types of homes being built in Vienna 1998-2008:





Here's what's more common in Vienna now in terms of new construction:





Whereas this is what you come across more recently in Bethesda or McLean:

I looked at the home posted and it appears to be a nice one but this doesn't prevent that said home being next to an undesirable one.
