Maybe in big SFH's - people looking at smaller (and closer in) units sure to do look at price per sq ft. If you are trying to give a metric of an area's desirability, it seems worthwhile to look at price per sq ft. I mean obviously people do want more sq ft,  and will pay for it, so that a place with very large houses has high prices is going to be true even if people have no partiucular preference for it.

You can find plenty of places with large, inexpensive houses.  They just don't include the sought-after suburbs of DC. [/quote]

yeah, but those places have VERY low prices per sq ft - in those places the prices of small houses are even less.  I mean Im not sure of your point.  Is that McLean is pricier that Toledo?  That is priciert than PG county, or PWC?  Well, er, sure.

Its not pricier per square foot, AFAICT, than North Arlington is.  Or Georgetown. Or Logan Circle.  If the zips in McLean and Great Falls have higher average house prices, its because the units are bigger.    [/quote]

The latest sales data shows sales in McLean/22101 at a higher per square foot cost than either the 22207 or 22205 zip codes in Arlington.  And, of course, houses in McLean typically have more square feet, and are on larger lots, than houses in Arlington.

Most residential buyers of means in this area, at least of single-family properties, focus on the total spend, not price per square foot.  They aren't buying studio apartments.   [/quote]

None of those three appear to make this list

But congrats on beating North Arlington.  [/quote]
