[quote=Anonymous]What people have to say about Pimmit Hills on another forum:

"I drive through Pimmet Hills about twice a month. It's still a run-down hole to me. I don't see a lot of building going on. It reminds me of the southside of San Antonio."

"Tiny little boxes built in 1955, or gee-normous overpriced McMansions."

"Pimmit does have kind of a run down feel to it too. Probably because so many of the houses are tiny and inexpensive compared to nearby neighborhoods."

"The homes are old and the lots are small. The area is cheap for a reason. It's going to take decades for the lots to be bought up one by one and rebuilt."

"Don't ever move to Pimmit Hills it's fairfax county's version of the ghetto."

"I have driven through the neighborhood a few times trying to find shortcuts that don't exist, and I can't say that I would recommend it to a family with small children. As you indicated, it seems a little rough around the edges.  Remember, you usually get what you pay for in real estate around here, and if the houses in Pimmit Hills are cheaper than those in nearby neighborhoods, there is a reason for that."

"The story was that houses had been build 40-50 years ago as temporary housing, suppose to be replaced by decent houses in 5-10 years, but it never happend. Most of the houses in worst shape that you can imagine, but have some that have been taking care off."

"I grew up in Vienna and Pimmit Hills was always known as one of the worst areas to live in, this was in the 80's and 90's. I worked at Marshall High School in 2000 and it was considered bad then too."

"There are many tacky new homes and additions in Pimmit Hills."

"Over all these years, Pimmit seems to retain its "slightly sketchy" character. No offense intended for residents, and I don't mean to suggest it's a truly dangerous area, just a little sketchier than typical Fairfax County. It has changed a little, but why hasn't it changed more?"[/quote]
