[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think 1.2mill budget is financially struggling by any means. I do think it is a very competitive market; when we bought our home 7 years ago, $800k seemed to be the super competitive budget. We just had friends looking in the $1-1.25 mil range and they told us that in Arlington, it is tough because things go fast or in the low range they are competing with developers.

That said, I agree to the points made in walkability. I don’t consider the home suggested in 22nd walkable; i guess to Heidelberg? But Lee Hwy is not pleasant, as someone mentioned. That neighborhood is also a glut of enormous houses in tiny lots, so I would be very wary of how close you like your neighbors. We also have family visit who prefer not to drive. For it to be truly convenient/pleasant for them, you need to live 1-1.25 miles from the metro corridor or near an area like Westover/Shirlington/Penrose, or just give up walkability and have them use Uber. I do think that Arlington seems more pedestrian friendly, but I haven’t spent a lot of time walking around Mclean. Generally, Mclean seems to be more car friendly, if only because there tends to be more parking available. [/quote]
