[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's " people" I think there is one or two persons who troll these boards. If I had to guess, they are just being contrary for the sake of it. Most upper middle class homeowners that live in North Arlington seem to have no real thoughts about south Arlington, or if they do, would most likely enjoy more revenue from higher property taxes elsewhere in the county. 
If you've spent any amount of time in the southern part of the county, especially around Shirlington and Penrose, the changes are undeniable. [/quote]

Yeah, I hope this is the case. I was getting frustrated at that post about the 1.1 million dollar house in S. Arlington. People seem very intent that it is not changing and never will. Yet I actually live in S. Arlington (and live near Shirlington) and have seen house after house in my neighborhood snatched up by upper class families or builders with new builds at triple the price of the original house. Things are changing, I don't know why folks want to dispute that. But I have said on here before, apparently if the area isn't 100% white and 100% rich it isn't worth living in. [/quote]

I think you all are mixing apples and oranges the other thread $1.1M went off topic about some poor guy's assessment ($1.35M, lol at calling it poor).  Basically, S. Arlington is getting alot better and N. Arlington is out of hand with significant amount of home inventory b/w $1.3M-$1.7M.  Bottom line the original $1.1M house that was referenced will not catch that amount due to the hoarder neighbor.  I was considering making an offer but that neighbor was a huge turnoff.

But back on topic, yes South Arlington can only continue to improve while N. Arlington has somewhat peak until we got some more schools and stop with all the teardown activity.  If S. Arlington like Shirlington/Penrose had metro walkability I would have bought their as opposed to Bluemont.[/quote]

It seemed like the OP in the 1.1 million S. Arlington house post, just seemed shocked that a house could cost that much in S. Arlington, but maybe I am a big sensitive since it gets frustrating to have folks put down your area time and time again. I don't know how fast S. Arlington is going to change, but I also don't think it is currently as bad as a lot of posters make it seem. At least from the prospective of someone that lives there and is very happy (and never had a neighbor ask me for money ;) ) [/quote]

The $1.1M house is solid just dumpy neighbor and really close to Randolph school which is a con for me.

I tell you this we have multiple panhandlers on Glebe Rd/Lee highway, Glebe Rd/Washington Blvd, etc.  I cant recall many bums in S. Arlington.[/quote]

Well according to this board, all the panhandlers would have to go to N. Arlington, because us S. Arlington folks are too poor to give them money. [/quote]
