[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington is the hottest area because NOVA is hot for jobs and real estate.
Arlington just seems hotter than other parts of NOVA  because it is so small.  Let’s be real here, we really mean north Arlington when people on this bored post 99% of the time.

Arlington is more expensive than places like fairfax or whatever because of its location and urban-like areas on orange line.[/quote]

I agree people usually mean north Arlington when they say only Arlington but in this instance [b]south  Arlington is just as hot or hotter, and appreciating faster (at least at certain price points).[/b] Literally the only advantage north Arlington ever had was the schools, and now it’s clear they are all crap.[/quote]

Why is this?  There are no Metro stops anywhere in South Arlington, right?  [/quote]

Yes of course there are!!! Pentagon city, crystal city, the airport, and the new one at Potomac Yards (technically Alexandria but right on the border of Arlington).

Also the metro is permanently closing stations in north Arlington because ridership is down, so I don’t think the metro is as desirable as it once was.[/quote]

Yeah but if you live anywhere near Glebe and Columbia Pike there are no Metro stops you can walk to.  Isn’t that what most people think of as “South Arlington”?[/quote]

I live on Columbia pike. I can pick up the bus and be in dc in 10-15 minutes. Not much longer if i transfer to metro at pentagon city. It’s effortless. However, I’m renting and entirely priced out of any part of Arlington unless we go into a duplex. [/quote]
