I am guessing that a million-dollar condo buyer is looking for different things than a million-dollar house buyer. The condo must have checked these boxes, and this house didn't.

This, and Lyon Village isn't that desirable.

Lyon Village is one of the most desirable parts of Arlington for those that can afford it. Lyon Park is also very desirable and slightly more affordable.

That's just your opinion. Obviously, this house challenges that notion.

The most popular places in Arlington are further north: CC Hills, Country Club, Dominon Hills, even Cherrydale. I don't think Lyon Village cracks even the top 5.

LOL. Yup, LV sucks. No one wants to live there. Nothing desirable there.

Me too, though we fall into the target market - just one kid.

The outside gives me pause - I don't think they don't take care of it, I think that with all those large trees (which are awesome) there's so much shade that it's really hard to keep a nice lawn.

There is a lot you can do with a shady yard. They did nothing. If they wanted the house to sell quickly they should have staged the house inside and out to show well. They didn't, and listed it too high, so here it sits.

So name the top 5 and let's see if we all agree?

Strange post, even if this is trying to be funny. LV is one of the most talked about neighborhoods on this forum, and people here and elsewhere constantly complain about the lack of inventory there. It was a "best neighborhood" in Arlington Magazine.

Why someone would comment on the desirability of Lyon Village (a few posts back) when the subject is about a house in Lyon Park makes no sense. Just a troll post I suppose.

the real hot places will be the silver line, developers are heavily investing there

I know the area and have been past that house.

Significantly overpriced IMO, I would say be up to $75-90k based on what I see in sales in other neighborhoods for larger houses or similar houses in areas that have somewhat higher sales price range generally.

That looks to me (based on neighborhood, SF, and tax info) like it should sell in the mid-700s.

p.s. hate the pink (bathrooms need updating) but love the radiators, really miss them in our current house (1950 Broyhill Colonial) after may yrs. in a 1937 house w/ radiators ... nothing wrong with them.

+1, don't buy at the peak of desirability Arlington will go down hill as other newer metro accessible developments outside of Arlington are built.

Ha!! I just opened 2 personal letters and 3 Realtor letters telling me the buyers need a home in LV. I know of three families currently waiting it out in condos because there is zero inventory here.

You are smoking crack. It is the #1 top neighborhood. Why? Location, location, location.

And, I agree, leave LV the hell out of this! I love Lyon Park too, btw.

This dipshit doesn't realize Lyon Park is a completely different neighborhood from Lyon Village.

Tell us dear, which metro accessible developments do you mean that are comparable to Arlington?
