Is Great Falls not attractive anymore?

[Anonymous]

22066 is the most expensive zip code in NoVA. Seems pretty attractive to me.

You sound like a real estate agent. Some may still like great falls but most people are looking for different things now, like walkability.

It's still a hot market for people that typically send their kids to private school. The people buying 1-2M homes that usually send their kids to public school, not so much.

It’s not convenient to either private schools or the assigned high school.

22101 recent sales are much more $$, despite many being teardowns

Your kids will be covered in ticks from playing in that forest all year round. No thanks
For that money I’ll live in Arlington

Newsflash. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean others feel the same. I’d love to have a large yard. Three of us live in a house in Arlington that’s 6,800 feet. But you’d hate that , too.

The yard is crap and it’s poorly staged. The furniture is waaaay too small for the house.

22066 has the highest median because there are no condos or townhouses. 22101 is a lot more.expensive if comparing apples to apples

Maybe someone can create a separate discussion on 5,000+ sq ft houses. I'm really curious about who are buying those houses and how they are using them. I just can't imagine ever wanting a house that big, but I'm also single and don't enjoy entertaining, so I'm very content with my 1,000 sq foot condo.

We just bought a house and we didn't consider great falls because you can't even take a long walk without ending up on a road with no sidewalk or path. You're locked into your neighborhood. And yes, large lot sizes = a lot of maintenance!

That’s. Not true for all locations in Great Falls. Some have trails that lead to cool places. Best kept secrets. You just have to know and explore.

This. They used Wayfair apartment furniture to stage the place and the scale is wayyy off. The kitchen, while nice bones, looks cheaply done (why didn’t they extend the cabs flush to the ceiling? And they have the DCUM hated range on the island.). I can’t entirely tell but the ceilings look kinda low throughout. The sloped yard is also terrible for anyone with kids or pets which I assume is the target audience of this house.

Northern Virginia Magazine had a table the l2024 most expensive zip code listing a two or three months ago. 22066 was at the top. Last year 22101 was at the top.

I think the issue with comparing zip codes is that it's an apples to oranges comparison since some zip codes allow condos and other multi-family housing and others only allow single family homes. I would think it would be a fairly meaningless number unless you're only comparing the price of single family homes. Even then you could argue square footage and lot size should factor in. But these zip code lists compiled with data from Zillow are pretty meaningless. I doubt they even capture off-market sales, of which there are plenty in "desirable" zip codes.

This is untrue. It’s not convenient to most private schools in the area.

Agree. Only Madeira and Flint Hill kinda nearby. Maybe Potomac.

Good luck getting into DC or Maryland.
