For those looking in N. Arlington and frustrated about inventory:

This looks aggressively priced:

http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3441-N-Glebe-Rd-Arlington-VA-22207/12060502_zpid/

It's in my nabe. Downside: Faces busy street (although only a couple of times a day) but seems priced for that. Pros: Excellent schools, CC Hills.

This is just down the block from me.

Caveat: I haven't been inside.

Here is one I consider a good price at $649k, on a quiet street too and pretty walkable. The previous sale listed was apparently an inter-family transfer. This is in my neighborhood, High View Park, not far from Ballston. This neighborhood is wonderful and has a great history (look it up on this forum using the "Search" feature). This particular street is one of the nicer streets in High View park.

I like the layout a lot, but the weird choice in floor coverings is freaking me out. Also, why are some of the windows so small?

It's not huge - but it's $649k! In a nice area in N. Arlington. And it's not a red brick box. Anyway - it's been under contract for a few weeks... http://www.redfin.com/VA/Arlington/1904-N-Emerson-St-22207/home/11236146

It's a seriously ugly neighborhood. The house on Emerson looks like something you'd expect to see in Bethany Beach. I kept looking for the boogie boards in the back.

There are three houses listed on Glebe Road, not far from Washington Blvd, in the Waycroft-Woodlawn neighborhood. One is directly adjacent to 66-- but its upsides is that its an extremely attractive house, listed in the 600s, and very walkable to Ballston - maybe just under half-mile from Metro.

22:08 again- this is the house. I love the style! Just not the exact location; its a busy section of Glebe, by a traffic light, adjacent to 66. Its been on the market before recently. The lot is just barely 4,000 sq ft which is small but kind of typical-ish for Arlington; many people only want a patio and small yard anyway. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1309-N-Glebe-Rd-Arlington-VA-22207/12066542_zpid/

The location of those houses on Glebe road makes them a total non starter for most people (espcially those with kids or who want to be able to enjoy their yard).

It's RIGHT by the 66 exit- totally noisy and bright lights all hours of the night. Glebe Road is busy enough without the 66 issue-- add in the 66 exit and its like a noise machine day and night. You could not pay me to live in that location no matter how nice the house.

And 4000 sq foot is not average for Arlington. Most Arlington lots are at least 6000 square feet (with many being larger). While its true there are some that are smaller than 6000, I've seen only a few under 5000 (outside of Lyon Village or 22201). 22205/22207/22203/22213 tend to have larger lots than those in 22201.

There are plenty of other decent houses for sale in that general area (walkable to ballston etc) in waycroft, lacey woods, tara, dominion hills etc for 600-800k....on decent size lots.

Yes, you'd basically never be able to have company over because they'd have no where to park (you can't park on Glebe). The noise would also be really loud.

I just searched and came up with this, listed 5/10/2012, which seems like a good deal. $499k, 3BR/2BA 900 sq ft brick rambler on a 7,800 square foot lot. In 22207 near Lee-Harrison shops.

I lived a block from there for 19 yrs. that house's location is HORRIBLE ... just awful... wouldn't consider it at any price for peace of mind, etc.
