[quote=Anonymous]South Arlington "hater" here. I wouldn't move to the older duplexes off of Glebe Road between I-395 and Route 1/Alexandria. The newer places are okay. Nauck and Green Valley also have a risk of having less than desirable neighbors, much as I had between 2002-08 (things have probably gotten better overall since then but that does you little good if you move in to one of the remaining bad places.) Look at the FARMS percentage for your neighborhood elementary school, as well as the percentage of Hispanics (they're a rough proxy for ESOL, ELL, etc.) Of course, not all ELL are created equal. Did you state a budget? $600k won't get you much in the nicer areas anymore, really, maybe a TH with 3BR, but not much in the way of SFHs. If you're going to be that fussy, Would I give South Arlington a chance again? Sure, since I know what I'm looking for. But my wife would leave me before agreeing to do that and I can't afford the nicer parts anyway. [/quote]
