Glen Echo Heights?

What good would talking do you?

Science though vehemently disagrees with being meh about living under a flight path.

In conclusion: no thanks.

Then there’s traffic and the mosquitos too. Plus damp

It is a lovely neighborhood but the homes have become so expensive. You can barely get in there for less than $1 million. Is it all the new builds driving up the prices?

And there are still junk houses peppering the neighborhood. There is no HOA so people can decorate their yards with brush and wrecks without consequence.

where is the famous house with old cars littered all over that you people talk about?

NP- I drive through this neighborhood about once a month for my DC to hang out with a friend who lives there. I dread it. Cars parked on both sides of the street, construction trucks everywhere, no sidewalks so people walking in the street. I feel like I'm in a bad video game trying to dodge everything I encounter in order to survive. I usually have to park in their driveway, which has a sharp downward slope to the garage. Someone once drove right through one of their garage doors! It's really fun trying to back up out of that driveway too.

However, the new build house is gorgeous inside.

No sidewalks is a dealbreaker for me.
It prevents kids from walking on their own to a friend’s house. It reduces the feeling of community

Lesson learned, visit at different times of the day, drive in the rush hour and just imagine living in the house and area before making an offer (or use your inspection period well).

The airplane noise has totally ruined all of the neighborhoods along the river and close by

The airplane noise in Glen Echo Heights was bad in 2018 but it became unbearable in 2021 when the FAA shifted the flight path closer to all the MoCo neighborhoods along the Potomac river in response to a request from Montgomery County representatives on the DCA Community Working Group at the airport.

The map on page 4 shows in yellow how much closer the noise is now to Glen Echo Heights.

Total mess. Junk cars everywhere. No one seems to know what’s going on there.
