[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I already posted how I think Del Ray is overrated.

But it's definitely exponentially better than Pimmit Hills. [/quote]

Better is such a stupid word, perhaps you can share some metrics of the betterness as you call it.

I live in neither neighborhood but when we looked at family friendly, commute convenience and good schools we considered pimmit hills light years ahead of del ray.

Del ray would be fun for a divorcee or spinster who wants to walk to the bars, restaurants and shops.[/quote]

The metrics are a mix of intangible and tangible. They include:

Great proximity to downtown DC and Old Town. 
Fun community and amenities.
Nice housing stock.
Good restaurants as opposed to the chains you get at Tysons.
Close to great shopping as well as unique stores on the Avenue.

[b]Pimmit Hills? Ugly shit shacks with chain link fences where people think proximity to Tysons Corner is a virtue.[/b]

But I do concede on the schools. True that.

I live nearby and tend to drive by this area quite often. There a very few chain link fences left and the shit shacks are being torn down left and right at least one or two new builds per block some even more. There are some decent small homes that aren't tear down quality but they are the brick ones in the north and the later 60s homes on the east.[/quote]

There are unjustifiably some crazy PH haters on this board.  Why the hate?  You can't afford it? PH is not in our range of where we would be looking, but if it was, I would not hesitate.

I am left to believe that the haters are indeed jealous. [/quote]
