[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hasn't Arlington ALWAYS been hot? I don't remember a time when Arlington wasn't one of the more expensive areas in the DMV. [/quote]

Arlington prices were declining in the 90s.  Lots of it was a dump, esp the Orange Line corridor.  DH bought our house in 1996 and happened to get it at the bottom of the market right as things started to turn.  Only way we now have a 4-bed, 3-bath house two blocks from a metro station. I did an internship at a school in APS in 2002 and was told they were concerned about the school closing because of declining enrollment.  5 years later when I had a kindergartener it was full and turning away transfers.  Arlington changed FAST. Suddenly the young couples who for years used it as a stopping point before moving to Fairfax county when they had kids decided to stay in Arlington. [/quote]

The 90's was 30 years ago. I think current history would show that Arlington prices have always been rather expensive. [/quote]

Yes, it was a while ago but I was responding to the idea that "Hasn't Arlington ALWAYS been hot".  It has not.[/quote]
