[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mixed income costs the AH developers more so they claim they cannot or won't do it. The financing gets complicated.

Even market rate along the pike is cheap. The new luxury apts that will go up at the Food Star site will be dirt cheap compared to North Arlington. We'll see if the developer can even rent everything out.

Uh, there are plenty of people who can't afford nice apartments if they're also located in a highly desirable neighborhood but who'd be perfectly fine neighbors. This is a decent option for those young 20 somethings who want to be close to the city, but can't afford the top locations in DC or the R-B corridor, but who are maybe not quite the type to be the urban pioneers in an up and coming affordable DC neighborhood. Good commute, and maybe not the top neighborhood, but safe and clean and in a nice new building with decent ground floor retail, and somewhat decent nightlife along the Pike, too. Look at what happened in Penrose. For goodness sake, when we (Gen Xer) were young Clarendon was still "edgy" and you could rent a house with a group of other young professionals for a decent price. And of you had a little more money you could even buy a house around there for a reasonable amount. Things change. Places change. It's changing here, and that's why the old timers are freaking out.
