[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PH is so controversial. I want to love it because it's close to WFC metro  but I'm hesitating buying there. My spouse is opposed to PH due to what he associates it with when he was growing up in the late 80s early 90s nearby in a more affluent area. In his mind PH=My name is Earl residents (to exaggerate a tad). I'm the one trying to sell PH for its location and value, but no use. So you'll get people like me, then others still set in their old views. If there are enough people like my spouse, PH will need another 20- 30 years for some perceptions to change.[/quote]

If you look at the other side of the neighborhood the silver line stop is within walking distance is set to have some redevelopment which will produce more walkable amenities.[/quote]

Per Google Maps, it's over a mile and 30 minutes or more to walk to the nearest Silver Line station from the western part of Pimmit Hills.  If you want a 15-minute walk that's less than a mile, look at the Hunting Ridge development in McLean, on the other side of Magarity Road from Pimmit Hills and also close to the Commons development that eventually may be redeveloped.

The side near McLean metro is less than a mile and unless you are extremely out of shape it should take 15-20 minutes to walk it. New development for the silver will occur starting in the mclean commons which is a stones throw from PH.[/quote]

I've walked to the silver line metro from a house a block from Margharity. It takes almost 30 min. Similarly, my friend who bought in PH off Margharity 1.3 miles away first dreamed of walking to metro but he ended up driving to the silver line because the 1.3 miles took 27 minutes to walk. Go figure. I think only a half mile is walkable. Who wants to add 40-50 min of RT commute time just to be able to hypothetically walk to Mclean metro or any metro? Plus the parking lot there is temporary. I don't get why the new stations didn't get parking (except Reston and way west). [/quote]
As I said, I don't think it's an easy or short walk anywhere from PH, but 30 minutes is an overkill.  [/quote]

This is kind of a long thread.  Where did you say before that it's "[b]not an easy or short walk anywhere from PH[/b]"?
