[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also note that traffic in the area is awful, and [b]real estate is pricy[/b]. Arlington and Bethesda houses start in the $600-$800k range. If you have a large housing budget, you'll obviously have a lot more options. [/quote] Here's what you get for $500-$600K in Dedham, where OP lives: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/315-Walnut-St_Dedham_MA_02026_M36115-64112 http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1041-High-St_Dedham_MA_02026_M36552-42059 http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1-Patty-Lee-Ln_Dedham_MA_02026_M42974-43784 And here's what you get in Arlington, VA for the same price range: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5615-Wilson-Blvd_Arlington_VA_22205_M50457-42436 http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/4943-25th-St-S_Arlington_VA_22206_M52643-44455?ex=VA552817234 http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6019-18th-St-N_Arlington_VA_22205_M63086-68781 And in Bethesda: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6011-Ryland-Dr_Bethesda_MD_20817_M64661-51841 http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2808-Blaine-Dr_Chevy-Chase_MD_20815_M52429-66736 This is so depressing. It is the reason why, when we moved here from the northeast, we ended up in a townhouse. It's a nice townhouse and all, but nothing like the 4000 sq ft SFH we had before coming to this area. Oh well, at least DC and its suburbs has lots to do, even if it doesn't have towns or cheap housing. [/quote][/quote] I understand, and I agree, but like you, I find it depressing - especially as summer approaches, and we are stuck indoors because of the heat, humidity and bugs. Bleah.[/quote]
