Check out house price vs house current worth. Arlingtuckings have been gaining $400k -500k over the last 5 years, suckers. Yee-haw!!

Not true. The census tract including country club hills and Arlingwood has higher home prices than any 22101 tract.

You must be rather challenged if you don't understand the difference between HHI income and housing prices, but 22101 has higher housing prices than 22207 in any event.

Not by much--930 vs 880 last quarter....and Arlingtons Are much smaller

And yet, Arlington 22207 has the same average household income as McLean 22101 and higher than McLean 22102.

Facts speak. The census tracts in Arlington alongside McLean are higher income, younger, better educated. All this, despite half the lot sizes.

Feeling a little concerned about the future?

22207 has lower incomes than 22101, and 22101 has census tracts with higher incomes than any census tracts in Arlington, including those adjacent to McLean. Repeating the same lie repeatedly won't make it true.

Lying? According to the last census, 22207 HHI is 201; 22101 is 205....not much difference.

Also according to the census--the Arlington side of the Arlington McLean border has a higher HHI - 225 to 211.

Snort.

Metro isn't a desirable amenity.

LOL! My colleague moved to "Arlintucky" as we affectionately call it. She couldn't get to work today b/c her Mercedes convertible doesn't do well in the snow and the buses are running on a snow schedule. She wants to move back to DC.

Nice made up story, and coining of a phrase that does not exist.

I don't get the Arlintucky comment. What? because Arlington is all backwoods and corncob pipe smokin'?

Hahahaha

To be fair, the houses passing as middle class in North Arlington are almost the same size and quality as the trailers of Kentucky.[/quote

They only cost a lot more. Like 20 times more. But Arlington is only twice as expensive as McLean, or Pimmit Hills east, for the same sq ft house

Nothing in Arlington as ugly as Great Falls St in McLean. Some real sh1tboxes along that street. Look like mobile homes--a real "mcleantucky" akin to Pimmit Hills

Also, a stage HHI in 22207 is substantially higher than McLean 22102 because that part of McLean has a lot of renters.

PP You do understand that "coining of a phrase" means that you are making up a phrase that does not exist.

Thank you for your attention.

I would say the area along 123 is more like that.

That said, old dominion drive thru McLeans Chesterbrook has a few shotgun shacks out of Kentucky Gothic.
