Same mid range builders as Arlington and McLean . Troll harder.[/quote]

Haha.  Right.  You can't seriously be asserting that the average/mode new builds in PH are comparable to those in Arlington or McLean.  I am quite sure that the community feel and proximity to things residents need are why people like living there.  I would never argue this.  But one needs only to drive through a few blocks to realize immediately that the majority of updated/replaced homes are not "mid range" by most definitions.[/quote]

Stanley Martin, ANV, NDI and others build the same mid level homes in McLean, Arlington and Pimmit Hills. I can school you with examples. I live in McLean and see them all the time.[/quote]

Even though most of these builders' PH models would be pretty awful in more expensive neighborhoods, they are a HUGE improvement over what they're replacing. What bothers me about the area are the many, many one off new builds by XYZ random GC and the atrocious add-ons that look like a couple of shipping containers bolted only the existing home.  Bigger name builders are fine, it's the 'custom' jobs that make the place humorous and will definitely cap the degree to which the hood can improve until they're knocked down themselves. [/quote]

Cool story this is the same everywhere. [/quote]

It most assuredly is not the same everywhere ... hence the PH teasing. [/quote]

Ok so here are some newer North Arlington homes which include NDI  that are the same build quality or less than in PH. In fact there are quite a few of these NDI homes in both PH and North Arlington. (Ashburn quality homes as you people call it). Due to many of North Arlington's limited sized lots some of the houses look much more skinny in the front than those in PH resulting in some less desirable exteriors. I can provide you the same for McLean and Vienna if you wish.

1) only the worst of these models can be found in PH
2) work on your reading comprehension ... "it's the 'custom' jobs that make the place humorous" ... THIS is NOT "happening everywhere" and is why people laugh at the PH posse that insists all new/modified houses in PH are on the level of other areas.[/quote]

Actually there is no worst with ndi, you choose a plan and it's the same. The only homes pictured above not in ph are the skinny ones and the strange flat triangle cream colored custom job.

I can also show you custom jobs that are pretty out of place in north Arlington, Vienna and McLean. It happens everywhere when no hoa is involved.[/quote]
