Pimmit Hills

[Anonymous]

I'm considering buying in Pimmit Hills and would love to revisit this thread. Has anything changed in the past two years?

Since the housing market has come back there are a ton on tear downs and new construction which should help alleviate the neighborhood of the tiny run down rentals. The silver line is almost done so the bordering mid level income apartments to the north will be replaced by high income high rises that line the edge of the new tyson corner city. All in all I predict a boom like or exceeding north arlington and it's city build up.

I would also ignore the naysayers who have their heads stuck in the 80s who consider it to be a bad neighborhood. The fact is unlike other up and coming areas where the schools have bad ratings , pimmit hills has very good schools so all the pieces of the puzzle are there for it to be a good investment and nice place to live where you don't have much risk of waiting for it to gentrify and can live there now.

The only thing that's bad about Pimmit Hills is that it's aesthetically challenged. Still mostly small old homes in so-so condition, and the quality of the additions and new construction varies wildly. Good location and schools, and quite safe. Just don't expect the chain link, ugly siding, or cut-rate McMansions to disappear overnight. The Tysons plan keeps the neighborhood intact, for better or worse.

The north and east side of pimmit have nicer brick ramblers , but overall the old siding homes are being torn down left and right and being replaced with new homes.

Today 25/29 SFHs in Pimmit Hills on sale or pending are over 1.2m. It is so hard to know if prices will fall. Frustrating

Why would the prices fall?

At this point everything I don't think they will here. I keep seeing people talk about waiting to buy because prices might fall. Someone just posted about what PH is like these days. We had a chance to buy about 10 years back in this neighborhood and do a teardown. Nothing crazy like the 5000sq ones you see today. It is just reminder how hard it is to predict what prices will do.

Prices won't fall. You won't get the same return on investment you would have got if you bought 10 years ago, but prices in Pimmit Hills will continue to creep up as the Tyson's East development fills in. I can walk to Wegmans from my house, and soon there will be more restaurants and retail over there too.

That sounds like a selling point. How do you see the Pimmit Hills 'sex offered' list?
