[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LV commands a premium because in this area, you have people who can afford $3M houses but who still need to schlep downtown to work long hours every day. They want an easy commute, safe neighborhood and nice single family houses.  [/quote]

But why dumpy Lyon Village (just being honest) vs something lovely just a little further out? These high earners are no doubt driving to work anyway.

Hence my theory: invasion of the super rich FAANGs. [/quote]

You don’t need a theory, we are telling you that it’s always been desirable.  It seems like you are just learning about LV but it’s been relatively expensive compared to other Arlington neighborhoods for at least 15 years.  We don’t think it’s dumpy, we like our neighbors who are of different ages and backgrounds and incomes.  [/quote]

But it hasn’t “always been desireable.” You have a very uninteresting point of view. And it is dumpy compared to other neighborhoods. It’s 1.5 mil max aesthetic. You’ll never convince me it’s $3 mil aesthetic.

If anything this conversation has actually given me an appreciation of historic districts lol. [/quote]

The only single family neighborhood in Arlington with historic designation is Maywood. Except for some new builds or recently renovated big homes, most houses are considerably less expensive than Lyon Village.  If you cannot afford Lyon Village, it might suit you. [/quote]

Do we know whether Maywood's historic designation means it'll be exempt from Missing Middle housing when the board rams that through?[/quote]
