[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington is hot because most families are priced out of McLean.[/quote]

Arlington is more expensive than McLean you nitwit.[/quote]

DP, but what are you smoking?  Average sale of a SFH in McLean over the past 12 months was $1,350,000.   In Arlington it was $995,500.  Limit the sales to North Arlington and it's $1,146,540, still over $200K less.

Generally North Arlington and McLean have a fair amount in common, although North Arlington is more walkable and McLean has bigger houses and better schools.  It also has fewer residents who start "look at me, can you believe it" posts than North Arlington.  [/quote]

DP.  Average price per sq. ft. is higher in Arlington than in McLean.  McLean has larger lots so they have bigger houses, but it costs more to buy the same house in Arlington than it does in McLean.[/quote]

I usually see people asking here where they should look based on their housing budget, not the price per square foot. On average people spend more to live in McLean than in Arlington (or North Arlington). [/quote]

But if they want to buy the same thing for less, they move to McLean.

Theoretically, although the “same thing” usually doesn’t get built on larger lots.  Another reason why the properties on average cost less in Arlington.[/quote]
