[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This shit is hilarious. In McLean by park ave there are the same types of pimmit hills people smoking cigarettes out front and loading up their shit rvs parked on their driveway. The new houses sell for over 1.5 million but are next to the same crap as in pimmit hills. I don't see McLean in this  area being anymore upscale than pimmit hills. In fact pimmit hills has larger lots and doesn't feel as crammed in over here.[/quote]

I think people tend to not realize that much of the old McLean was far more dumpy than now!  It's Virginia. :shock:

Nevertheless, while PH is not McLean, it is not that far behind, and may well catch up.  There are cheap new builds in McLean and PH.  It is all about proximity, my friend.

I'm not going to knock a new build just because I can't afford one, that is too obvious.

There was never the concentration of cheap 1950s housing with @900 SF specifically built for returning vets in McLean that there is in PH.  That has dictated the area's fate to date because the cheap homes begat what other posters have described as the "brand new ugly."  An inexpensive new build in McLean generally would be top of the line in PH today, and then some.

The crux of the boosters argument is that PH is "just as good" as McLean at a lower price.  If you want Bethesda, you don't buy in Silver Spring.  If you want McLean, you buy in McLean.  Pimmit Hills doesn't look anything like McLean, regardless of a few run-down homes here or there in older parts of McLean.

If you want to live in Pimmit Hills, live there.  Most people understand, however, that it's not McLean.  Moreover, if you're exploring other options, there are other close-in areas in 22042 and other zip codes that are actually far more attractive than Pimmit Hills.  Do us all a favor and stop pretending PH is ever going to be "upscale," because that is not going to happen unless someone tears down all the old homes and most of the newer ones that have been built in the last 15 years.[/quote]
