[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think Wakefield's demographics are bound to shift as more [b]middle class white families continue to move in.[/b]  I know a LOT of them - mostly folks who were slightly priced out of North Arlington or who just wanted something bigger/newer/nicer than what they could afford there.  And a lot of folks don't want to move further out - they're happy with the commutes from South Arlington.  (if you're metro commuting, it is actually a quicker drive to Ballston from some South Arlington neighborhoods than it is from my North Arlington one.)  It's probably never going to become a Yorktown, but I think the odds of it looking more like Washington-Lee in the next 10-15 years are pretty good.

Some of the neighborhoods are very cute - I like Penrose, Alcova Heights, Arlington village.  Douglas Park has a lot of families with young kids.  You get the best deals right now in Columbia Forest and Nauck, I think, though I didn't want to be that far South.  I hear that Patrick Henry ES and Oakridge are the most diverse of the schools down there, i.e. the schools that aren't 70% of one race, but more like 30/30/40.  (though Oakridge's SFHs may be above your range, since they are also nearer to blue line metro.)

Good luck!![/quote]

You mean as more of the white families move in driving the minority latino black asian families out thru demand of housing. The native DC'ers vs the money  hungry transplants[/quote]
