[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]For $800K, expect the homes in northern part of Falls Church (22043, 22046) to be 50-60 years old... split level, split foyer, rambler, etc. The streets dark with overgrown trees and no sidewalks or drainage. There are some clean looking areas, but it's mostly townhouses that were built after 1980's.

For that price, look in McLean east of 123. The homes are slightly younger (1960s - 1970s) and most have sidewalks. Vienna is little further out, but they have newer homes than the first two communities.

To the person who wrote that this area is "dark" with overgrown trees and no sidewalks and drainage, I live in this area and that's not the first way I'd describe it.

I live in a 1960s rambler that in any other part of the country would be $200k, but here it was just appraised at $700k.  That said it is 2400 sq ft, in an awesome location, with great schools and great neighbors.  Yes, this is not what I initially dreamed my home would look like, but I really have grown to love the rambler layout.  Also, older homes definitely have some positives, and 1970s' - 80's homes aren't that much more beautiful, plus you are further out of the city/Mclean.

Also I commute to Maryland and it is very easy from where I live. (via 495 or chain bridge).
Anyway, good luck on the house hunt, OP![/quote]

agree, not all of the neighborhoods are like that many even the lower priced pimmit hills has sidewalks. That poster must not understand how large the zip codes span.[/quote]
