I looked at a few places in Arlington before I settled on my place in DC.

I bought in 2008, and even then I couldn't understand Arlington. You're paying high prices for a house in a neighborhood that looks like the ghetto. Yes, I understand that the schools are good, but where I come from - the ghetto looks like Arlington. The fact that the gas from my car was stolen while it was parked overnight in one of the nice neighborhoods in Arlington made me see it in a worse liight.

And now normal houses in Arlington are $1M??! It's madness.

My neighborhood, Country Club Hills, looks much like the area we moved from in upper NW DC. Either you never ventured outside of Route 50 in your home search, or you don't know what the meaning of "ghetto" is. In any event, I have happily enjoyed a tripling of my home value since we purchased, our safe neighborhoods and excellent schools. The general increase in Arlington's livability over the past decade (bike ability, walkability, etc.) is just icing on the cake. [/quote]
