[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look to major European cities as a model of what will happen here. The wealthier, the closer in you live. The poorer, the further out, until you get to the country estates. I would look at places like Prince William County, Loudoun County, Frederick and Howard Counties as places where that sort of turnover will take place. Meanwhile, DC, Hyattsville, Silver Spring, Arlington etc will prosper.

Likely areas adjacent to mass transit like Metro and Purlple Line will continue to do well.[/quote]

Idk if it is that simple because of the way we do public schooling here. A lot of young couples who buy in DC plan to move to the suburbs once their kids hit a certain age for school reasons.  I think that in the European cities you didn't have people moving into areas with schools that as a whole were not generally as good as those in the suburbs.

I could see this being true for exburbs though as research about the negative effects of long commutes becomes more wide spread. Also some of the areas are actual close suburbs for different cities. Like a lot of areas in Howard county are near Baltimore suburbs and I would imagine some of those places in Virginia are suburbs of a lot of the tech development in the area. The other X factor is the impact a rise in telecommuting has on where people settle down in the future. One of my family members works in tech in the Bay Area and there are a decent number of people she works with that could afford to live there but choose to primarily work remotely from other areas of the country.
