[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it's a lovely neighborhood. I didn't wind up buying there but just bought a similar TH in a much smaller development right behind Arlington Village. I've heard nothing but positive things. I don't like the price differential between the 1 and 2 brs - that is what ultimately turned me off from buying there. [/quote]

Prices vary based on how they were renovated last the couple of years since 2012. Low end being welcome to the 60s and no renovated work done to the unit to fully renovated with modern conveniences.

1 bedroom - 250k/310k
2 bedroom - 360k/415k
3 bedroom - 435k/490k[/quote]

OP, it's a great area and lots of families are moving in. With future development in that area, it won't be like Clarendon but it will have things that will have more walkable amenities. However, the rents are high from 1800.00 to 2800.00 for people renting their property is great but may create bigger price appreciation for homeowners. I know people who just love the area could afford way more and make great income but they say it's the perfect living arrangement where it's like a home but none of the home maintenance like raking leaves , fixing the roof, shovel the snow. Of course you have shared wall space with other owners so nothing is perfect :)

OP, as a current owner I can say there are pros and cons such as condo fees may go up more but that was because of structural upgrades that requires a lot
of money. I have friends in Clarendon and Ballston they just love the village when they come by. There are a mix of very young couples, family with 1/2 kid and retirees who are here which is unique and is very telling of the neighborhood. Some owners have been here for 25 to 30 years. Most people have upgraded their homes that you would see in a new condo building. Some rents are like at 1600.00 but essentially no upgrades and you get what you pay for.
Home prices will likely go up in the future. Good luck on the house hunt.
