[quote=Anonymous]The street view of the second home is really fugly.. Did you see, OP, what's going to be in front of your house? Ugh, this is the ugliest construction I have seen, what the hell is that? A chopped multifamily? There is also a chain link fence and a busy street right next to yours, so it will be noisy. I would prefer the first house, the street looks more residential with SFHs of equal size and not weird fugly monstrocities, although this may change with the zoning changes. I don't personally prefer the look of that area of Arlington, it would be mainly for the access to the amenities. There are far prettier neighborhoods across the hwy towards N.Arlington with hilly tree lined streets. Lyon village is the most premium SFH area of Arlington, where price per sq.ft is higher and your budget won't buy you a brand new home. Maybe a luxury new townhome? You mention you aren't going to stay long, I wasn't sure what your goal buying a property is exactly. To give you the best access to amenities and in a nice setting or for better resale value (banking on your area appreciating more)? In the latter case these days you need to add value to the property by improving it, so your goals might be a fixer upper in a premium neighborhood like Lyon Village or banking on an area with a lot of new construction to appreciate more. The second home is in the area with more new construction, but unfortunately, it's incredibly ugly and utilitarian. [/quote]
