+1 drove through this area and it looks frozen in time with old homes. Reminds me of an old grand pa talking about his old college days and past years of greatness with nothing new to offer.[/quote]

-1.  People seek it out for the lake and the mid-century homes.  If you want to put up some McMansion in the middle of homes no one will miss, you can always move to Pimmit Hills. [/quote]

No one lives in lake barcroft for the old run down homes, they live there because of the lake.[/quote]

Both the MCM homes and the lake are appealing.

The comments are funny and telling of the schools.

Some homes in Lake Barcroft (not right on the lake, but very, very close) run in the $500-$700 range. And as an Arlington resident, I can testifty that you get a LOT more for $700 plus in this area than you get in Arlington … but of course you lose the commuting and public school advantages offered by Arlington.

Husband and I have considered it. We drove around there about a month ago. Its really beautiful and hard to believe so close to DC. We would love something on the water or at least boat access. Waterfront homes are closer to 1mil though. The downside is that its in a lousy elementary school boundary. So we might as well stick with Park View which also has a lousy neighborhood school.

As someone who attended Sleepy Hollow Elementary School in the 1980s, I (facetiously) take umbrage at your comment!

Apparently you got out in time, because you can spell words like “umbrage” and “facetiously” and use them correctly in a sentence.
