For a family with 6 kids who want to live in Arlington [VA] with good school

It’s clearly built for Mormons.

I can't imagine buying a house for over 1 mil and having zero backyard. The house takes up the entire lot!

I believe that house was/is used as some type of art gallery in recent years. There is still quite a bit hanging on the walls on the photos.

It would be great for group housing for disabled adults. Arlington county should buy it.

So much gray

NP. I’m from Arlington and remember this idea being floated ~20 years ago, and maybe even before that. I’d have to look for old articles, but I remember the neighborhood being opposed to using it as any kind of group home.

A lot of open-air rooms which could be closed off with walls easily. Rip out the basement tile and chop up the island.

Not seeing the issue here?

Read the story, maybe?

Honestly, who cares what the neighbors want? Disabled people have to live somewhere, and its not like a family is going to buy it. Neighbors don't get to pick or choose who moves into the house next door.

It would need a lot of work to make it compliant for ppl with disabilities or to serve enough people efficiently.

I agree -- but it's weird because the article says the house takes up less than half the lot. That doesn't appear right from the satellite photo.

Or the photos where the house backs up right to the fences

PP here. I agree. As for neighbors not getting to pick or choose when it comes to stuff like this, though, it happens all the time in well-off areas. See Davidson Road in McLean, for example.
