Exactly. Also, some of you make it sound like the entire area is made up of retirees with no school-aged kids. That's simply not the case. There are tons of families with young kids.

Maybe so, but there are plenty of folks in my neighborhood who seem to be retiring in place. I guess they like it here!

It's not really ideal when you are younger either especially paying a premium for it.

If you review the zillow home homes charts it show great falls as ice cold and falling in value.

The median home value in 22066 is $1,061,100. 22066 home values have declined -4.5% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will fall -0.9% within the next year.

You will notice that that mclean is even cool and that once you move closer in the values are rising instead of falling.

I'm not sure what the point of your posts are. Are you a realtor, trying to convince people to move to the inner suburbs (Arlington, etc.)? Because I have to tell you - those of us who live in Great Falls are here because we want the large lots and privacy. We don't live further in because we're not interested in living on top of one another in an urban or faux-urban "walkable" community. Different strokes, you know?
