[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of nice upscale shopping and some ok restaurants there, but something about the Mosaic district feels very inorganic to me.  [/quote]

Agree. I've gone there multiple times to eat at Four Sisters and other restaurants and to the Home Depot nearby. It feels like a very serious attempt at creating a community, but with none of the visual/neighborhood characteristics needed for one. The area just before 50 has a 1/4 mile stretch of industrial warehouses/class D office space,  very dusty, broken-up wide roads and then you have a nice-ish mini-Reston Town Center like area after 50. Feels forced, but may make sense to not write off till its fully done and the landscape settles.[/quote]

The first phase of EYA townhouses sold out entirely.  It appears the market does not agree with your assessment, other than the observation that it's one part of a larger plan for the redevelopment of Merrifield.

This area of Fairfax has been appreciating much more in the last 2-3 years than closer-in areas that previously saw redevelopment like Arlington, though, so it's not a big surprise that some people try to damn it with faint praise.  [/quote]
