[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different markets. FCC is significantly more expensive than Alexandria other than a few houses around Old Town.[/quote] This, they are not exactly comparable markets. Alexandria is largely middle-class ranch/ramblers or just large apartment complexes, except for some pockets around Old Town. Falls Church City has been one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the country for a long time. It’s uniformly wealthy and highly educated with one of the best school systems in the DMV. [/quote] Comparable properties across both are going to be more expensive in Alexandria. Comparing median costs doesn't really help when Alexandria has so many low-income housing that swaths over most of the West End, but 3-5k square foot homes in the East End of the City are not going to be cheaper. [/quote] Not true. Alexandria has a lot of older expensive homes but they simply don't have a large number of houses on par with the wealthier jurisdictions of FCC, Mclean, North Arlington etc. Alexandria has always been the affordable backup.
