Now you are are being stupid, historically that area used to be more upscale but fell hard in the late 70s and 80s. Look I live in the premiere area that is better than both that 22042 and pimmit hills. I can tell you 22042 has no hope for the future as a family friendly and stable neighborhood. Mosaic may be a good thing but it's not built for families and most of the families venturing there live in other neighborhoods.

I think that pimmit hills has historically had a bad name associated with it but there are way too many things going for it, location , silver line / orange line, massive redevelopment across the street in tysons,  great schools, superior location between all major roads, larger lots w/ mature trees, sidewalks, younger families because of the entry level housing prices as well as new builds etc...

The "premiere area"?  LOL.

Anyway, your logic is less than compelling.  Pimmit Hills isn't that great today, and there are limits to its upside potential given the housing, but it's better than it was when people associated it with the Pagans and other gangs and Marshall was considered one of the worst high schools in the county (not just because it drew from PH but also because it drew from lower-income apartments that are still around).  [b]22042 has a great location and, more recently, has been appreciating more rapidly than the PH zip code. [/b]

As for all the things you claim are going for PH, don't exaggerate.  The Metro stations aren't really within walking distance for most residents; people don't necessarily want to be surrounded by super-highways; the elementaries aren't as highly rated as others in McLean and Vienna; and the schools are overcrowded and projected to be seriously over-capacity soon.  The main thing it has had going for it was that it was less expensive than some nearby areas, but if prices go up more people will just look elsewhere for entry-level housing, new builds, etc.  [/quote]

Pimmit Hills 
Median Sold Price $805K	 
Up From Last Year 75%

22042
Median Sold Price $499K	
Up from last year [b]1[/b]6.3%[/quote]

The median sales price for PH since the beginning of 2014 is @$465K.  You are using a service that includes areas outside of PH when you try to search for sales data.  Rookie mistake, but no one who knows PH would claim with a straight face that the median sales price is over $800K. [/quote]
