[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Proximity to DC and Tysons with pretty good schools. [b]No other reason[/b]. Repeat: no other reason. Yes, if telework really becomes a major thing then Arlington home price will suffer mightily. However, it's not clear yet whether telework will really take off. So for now, Arlington's location and schools keep it afloat. [/quote]

Really? You think proximity is the only reason people buy here? I live 2 blocks from a metro station, can walk my kids to multiple parks, can walk to several coffee shops and other non-chain businesses, live near running/bike trails, and have a backyard for gardening and a swing set. I can walk along a nice tree-lined street to my youngest’s preschool. And I have the proximity to other areas you mentioned.

Look, I totally get why people move to other areas besides Arlington. You do have to sacrifice on house and/or lot size here if you’re able to buy new construction. For some people the trade off isn’t worth it, especially if your job is farther out. So I’m not hating on the appeal of other areas. But I think it’s a huge disservice to say people only buy in Arlington because its proximity to other locations. [/quote]

Yes. Because many other neighborhoods have everything else you listed. It is absolutely not unique to have parks, coffee shops, trails, trees. It's hilarious you think otherwise.

The ONLY thing that makes North Arlington "hot" is schools and proximity to the DC and Tysons job centers. No other reason. [/quote]
