[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How in the world does the owner of a daycare afford a $4M house????[/quote]

Commercial daycare that has many customers paying $$$$$ and staff is paid $. [b]1.17 acres[/b] so that would get the same number of units as a lot that is 25% or less the size under missing middle?   That lot could have parking for 8 vehicles plus garage spaces holding 1-2 cars per unit. [b] Lot size is unusually large but a 40,000+ sq foot lot gets the same units and vehicles as a 8000 sq foot lot?  [/b]

Redfin also has a sale for it for [b]1m on 1/31/23[/b] which matches the ARL county property website.  $2.55m in 2023  List price started at 3.6.

https://www.redfin.com/VA/Arlington/2561-N-Vermont-St-22207/home/11230323

Aerials for the property are available https://geocortex.arlingtonva.us/Html5Viewer/Resources/3rdPartyMaps/Pictometry_public.aspx

That thing could have well over 10 units but whatever.  ARL missing middle is whacky on lot sizes.  Maybe it will be 8 townhouses at 1.5 m plus /unit?  It could be 5 SFH at 1.8?[/quote]

There are two lots: 
sold for $1 - 51,062 sq ft - SFH

sold for $1.55 - 11,145 sq ft - vacant

Many options...

I don’t believe the story that neighbors questions and attitudes are driving them to build MMH. No one makes a 2.5 million decision based on a few conversations- or if they do, they aren’t very smart. With this guy’s business background, that’s unlikely. So this is his “cover” claim racism in Arlington and everyone’s got your back and no will question you. Regardless, verified home builders stayed away from this parcel; I think that says something about how hard it will to be build something and make a great profit. The lot is essentially a giant hill, it’s going to be really hard to build on that. [/quote]
