[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm betting that I found the direction this thread took more amusing than the OP did.

Basically, it appears that some Arlington boosters had never come across a house in Arlington that didn't have potential, wasn't near "great schools," and wasn't worth the asking price because Arlington's just so darn "family friendly," Metro-accessible (apparently, even in the remotest parts of North Arlington) and "walkable."  In response, other posters started to link to some of Arlington's ugliest properties to see if there was anything the boosters wouldn't praise to the rafters.

OK, point made; time to move on.

In that price range, there are some decent-looking homes in Arlington under 600K; here are some that aren't under contract:

http://franklymls.com/AR7743297 (yeah, near 66, but you'd survive)

http://franklymls.com/AR7749732 (yeah, it's Wakefield, but some people used to shun W-L, too, and look who's laughing now).

http://franklymls.com/AR7699724 (perhaps not the highest-quality rehab, but hits the Arts/Crafts buttons)

http://franklymls.com/AR7653667 (nice bones; has renovation potential, and in Yorktown HS district).

OP here -  the above cracks me up!  I am actually taking a closer look at S. Arlington and have been driving around looking at neighborhoods.  I have seen some areas I really like.  I agree with a PP who said that we may not want to be the most broke family in N. Arlington anyway.    We probably would fit in better in S. Arlington, which is where we already live and we fit in just fine.   I did kind of think I may be able to get a bit more for 600,000K in S. Arlington, but looks like houses are still small and basic, but often updated at least.  [/quote]
