[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have difficulty choosing between the following locations: North Arlington, Georgetown, or Foggy Bottom.[/quote]

Remove North Arlington it is not really that desirable compared to McLean or Great Falls[/quote]

for you? Because home prices in Arlington suggest that it's "really" actually "that desirable." Remove your head from your ass because it's really not desirable.[/quote]

When people think of the DC area suburbs they don't think of Arlington , they think of McLean and Great Falls  where the politicians, rich business owners, royalty and sports stars live.[/quote]

No. People think of Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, and CCMD.

FWIW, I don't live in any of them, but I have no problem admitting what suburbs are the most well-known.

The best known suburbs, at least among those who aren't looking for their first apartments fresh out of school, are the ones with money and expensive homes, and that means Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac, McLean and Great Falls, not Arlington.  It's not really debatable. [/quote]

How many Saudi Princes, Professional Athletes live in North Arlington, probably zero? North Arlington's so called "elite" is mostly lawyer drones.[/quote]

Right - I'm really looking to live next door to a Saudi prince.  I bet he's a blast at the neighborhood block parties.  Cristal for everyone!

I think PP was just saying that Arlington is well known as a suburb of DC, not that it's super posh.  And just because it's not super posh doesn't mean it's undesirable.  You know, to some of us mere mortals.

To answer OP's question, I would like to live in:  North Arlington (in a very walkable neighborhood), Georgetown (up by Volta), Old Town (at least on a few streets), Cleveland Park, AU Park, etc.  Our current location is based on practical considerations like school & commute.  [/quote]

The tile of this thread "If you could live anywhere in the DC area..."

NOT

"If you could live anywhere in the DC area for under 1.5 million..."

[/quote]

And OP's post, if you read beyond the thread's title, asked about where one would imagine to have the most pleasant neighbors. Do you now realize why all these posts about where the most wealthy people live and where homes are most expensive are irrelevant?[/quote]
