[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Metro stations are within walking distance to each side whether silver or orange [/quote]
Is there a way to get to the West Falls Church station without crossing a 66 entrance/exit ramp? There are some buses that make accessing the orange line convenient, but I wouldn't want to walk to it unless they finally built that trail through the rail yard.

I think it's too late to cash in on PH at this point because the metro access and schools are baked into the price, and I don't think the new builds in the area will push far past 900k, which is where they are now.

I think it's got a slightly more urban appeal than Vienna and McLean because of the sidewalks, nearby shops, and metro/buses, but it will never have the same reputation or feel.

Upscale is an objective term, but it's hard to apply it to Pimmit Hills. Pimmit Hills is convenient. [/quote]

This is spot on, except for the bit about "urban appeal."  All of these places are suburban at their core, and there are also parts of Vienna and McLean with sidewalks and comparable access to Metro and buses.  PH looks like what would be a lower middle-class suburb in most metropolitan areas of the country, punctuated by some newer housing that would be considered middle-class housing in most regions.  For the most part, Vienna and McLean look exactly like what they are:  upper-middle class suburbs with some areas pushing into the luxury category. [/quote]

Vienna is upper middle class? Bitch please
