[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is now way I am spending over a mill for a home in Arlington. I could live in Bethesda or McLean at that price point. [/quote]

Agreed.  Arlington sucks.[/quote]

I wouldn't go that far, but I'm not paying over a million dollars for a house in Alrington either. As PP said, you can buy in much fancier neighborhoods. North Arlington is a fantastic area for between 750k and 950k. I just don't like it at higher price points. I know there are some nice parts of North Arlington that regularly sell at the higher price points, but I wouldn't be one of those buyers.[/quote]

You either got the coins or you don't.

If you work in city, then Arlington is a natural choice for good schools and commute time.
I live in Arlington in over $1M home because to me time is a prime asset in life.  I love knowing I can drive-in 15 minutes or this week in 10 minutes to DC.  
Schools may be overrated but I like being able to be there to help my kids with their homework.[/quote]

Nothing wrong with your choice, but I agree with the PP. Arlington does not have the n[b]ame recognition, prestige[/b], amenities or schools that I would want at that price point. I'd certainly prefer Bethesda, McLean or Chevy Chase over Arlington at that price point. [/quote]

I'm trying to understand.[/quote]

Name recognition and prestige are two things I'm not willing to spend a penny on. [/quote]

Exactly.  You have to pay me extra to live around those snobs.  I'm looking for Beltsville, with decent schools.   [/quote]
