Never hear of Tara (and I lived in Arlington for 10 years).

Genuinely confused. I don’t see or can’t find “Tara” on this map.

I'd love to live closer to Windy Run, Donaldson Run or Gulf Branch. (Or Marcey park, for that matter.) There are also some spectacular views from Arlington Ridge Road, but I wouldn't want to be right on that street. (or too close to 395.) There are some nice lots that back to Rock Spring park.

It is leafy. I don't know about "gorgeous."

You guys need to come over to Bethesda in dreaded Montgomery County if you want to see an attractive inner suburb

I’d love to but it wouldn’t be great for my commute to Virginia Hospital Center. (Not sure about DH getting to Capitol Hill most days).

Neighborhoods like this don't seem to exist in Virginia, sadly.

Check out Westmoreland Hills in Bethesda. Great schools. It's relatively close to Chain Bridge. Depending on what time you leave for work, might not be too horrible of a commute to Capitol Hill/Virginia Hospital Center.

It’s near Westover, usually called Tara Heights.

Long time Tara homeowner. It has never been called "Tara Heights." You might be confusing it with "Leeway Heights," which is a track developement west of Patrick Henry Drive. The civic association is known as the "Tara/Leeway Heights Civic Association."
The prettiest streets are Inglewood, parts of Greenbrier, Harrison, Hollister, Huntington, and parts of 19th, 18th, and 17th Streets.

In nearby neighborhoods of Larchmont and Wynnewood, south of 16th Street, the prettiest streets are Greenbrier, Illinois, Inglewood, Ivanhoe, and Jefferson Streets. Oddly the cross streets are not that pretty.

And watch your property values plummet. But enjoy those sanctuary cities.

I live in Mclean but my neighborhood and most others are not what I would call pretty. It’s very depressing because otherwise it’s a great place to live, but the homes and neighborhoods are not very attractive compared to older established areas of MD or DC.

Arlington is not pretty, and has no charm. Even most of 22207. I say this as a (happy) Arlington resident, btw.

Anything for sale you like in these pretty areas?
