| I keep seeing all these posts about this neighborhood. I am in NWDC and have never heard of it. Where the heck is it? I'm assuming near Vienna but am just guessing. |
| lol i am the same way with mosaic district. i keep hearing about it but i have no idea where this place exists. |
| It's basically between Arlington and Tyson's corner. |
North of 66, west of the Dulles Toll Road, east of 495. Vienna is west of 495 and much, much nicer. |
Some of vienna is but all of it is much farther away Ph is located next to mclean, west of falls church city and abutting tysons east redevelopment |
| You do realize these are all sort of hypothetical places to us. |

So, is it like the silver spring of VA? The kentlands of VA?
NP, but equally curious. |
No because the schools are better and the location and metro location are better |
|
If you take GW Parkway into NoVA, Exit 123 McLean. It's the last neighborhood before Tysons Mall and all of Tysons Corner. hence, the location makes it $$$.
(you enter by going left on Anderson Rd.) |
I don't know from Pimiento Hills, but it has got to be far shittier than either of those places, with which, even as a District resident, I am slightly familiar. Silver Spring has something of a walkable downtown with a Metro station and some kick-ass so-kitschy-it's-good mid-C suburban architecture. It also has a lot of educated "creatives" raising families there. Kentlands I know because I used to have a friend up there. It's pretty nondescript, but at least the fakety-new stuff doesn't look like Cracker Barrel-Walmart land. |
So it'ssandwiched between downtown McLean and Tysons Corner (adjacent to them). And the backside is adjacent to the beginning of Falls Church. |
That's ok. Life out here by the sea serpent isn't half bad. |
Hey "District" transplant. SS is my hometown, and it blows. You don't even know. It makes me laugh to here some transplant like you using fruffy words to describe F-ing architecture there OMG.
Again.
One more BIG ASS LAUGH - on behalf of all my SS native peeps!

| I meant hear. not here. ugh |
+1 on both locations. I haven't a clue and find all the squabbling about it funny. |
