[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Houses in North Arlington (which is where I would assume you would want to be) closer in generally fall into a few categories:

1) Tear downs that have been rebuilt with no lots for 1.5 million.
2) Older houses that are small and need lots of work for $800K+
3) Newer townhouses for $700-800K.  Often the locations are great, and very close to everything, but the townhouses are packed in and back up to other townhouses or streets.
4) 2 bedroom condo's for $500K+[/quote]

OP here - yes, I notice this when I'm looking for real estate (and these are the same reasons we are branching out of NW DC); however, this is also the reason I wrote the post. I was starting to think that maybe there were some hidden gem neighborhoods out there that I wasn't aware of. I generally know the difference b/n North and South Arlington, but I'm hoping to find some enlightenment about zips/neighborhoods I'm overlooking out of ignorance.  But, perhaps it's wishful thinking!
Thanks everyone.  Keep it coming![/quote]

Hidden gem neighborhood:

Waverly Hills
Fairlington (albeit small, dated housing stock, but nice community)
Nauck (but that's South Arlington).

I live in CC Hills. Grander houses, fantastic schools, and lots of family but not very much interaction since kids are farmed out to Jamestown, Science Focus, some go private. So, it's not as "family-friendly" as I'd prefer. But we're working on that![/quote]
