[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bluemont is a lovely part of Arlington, walking distance to Ballston, easy drive to Westover, super easy commute to DC, Tysons, Reston & Beyond and of course CC. If you find a house you like in that area, don't hesitate. [b]If zip code matters to you, you prefer to rub elbows with richer neighbors, and you don't mind driving EVERYWHERE, then look further north in 22207.[/b][/quote]

Eh all the new builds are $$, but it’s more subtle wealth because they’re prioritizing convenience vs exclusivity. [b]So you get a different type of buyer than you’d see in 22207 even if their HHI / NW is the same.[/b]

Also lots of people who moved here for their starter home back in the early 2010s when it was a lot less expensive stick around for the lifestyle (trail, pool / tennis club, Ballston walkability) so you’ve got people making big $ staying in / renovating original houses. [/quote]

^ that was my point, but ok, I'll spell it out. If zip code snobbery matters to you, you want both the appearance and experience of a rich (mostly white) neighborhood, and you don't mind driving EVERYWHERE, then look in 22207. If you value convenience, beautiful parks, ability to walk into the vibrant part of Arlington, and yes, (GASP), some diversity (ethnic, age, and otherwise), tennis, roses, and walking paths then you will enjoy Bluemont.

PS: about pools - get on all the waitlists because they are glacially slow. [/quote]
