[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a reason those cute houses are affordable. It is next to a depressing clusterF of a commercial corridor on Georgia between 16th St and the Beltway that has been going downhill for a while with no redevelopment prospects in sight, which peaked when Armand’s and Woodside Diner were open. Now you can leave your charming pre-WW2 colonial to a check cashing store and an Aldi where you’ll rush back to your car to avoid homeless people trailing you for the quarter in your shopping cart under the shadows of a charming water tower lined with cellphone towers.

Is this like traveling down Langston Blvd in North Arlington with the endless gas stations, the multiple vape stores, the multiple 7-11s (with homeless people outside each and every one), the shuttered Walgreens and Giant, and yes, even a checking cashing and pawn shop?

BTW, in the same shopping center where Armands used to be there, there's now a highly acclaimed restaurant: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/09/19/lime-cilantro-restaurant-review-silver-spring/[/quote]

Those Woodside homes would sell for 30-50% more in that area though, so I don’t see your point. You can’t fool the market. If you’re trying to compare the Yorktown school district and North Arlington in general to Woodside you’re going to be fighting a losing battle. How’s that pedestrian tunnel under Georgia Ave at Forest Glen going?[/quote]

OK, if you're point is that people can spend 30-50% more to live in the hellscape that is Nova, or they can choose a lovely place like woodside and save hundreds of thousands of dollars, then we're in agreement.[/quote]

Living in a place where you don’t have to worry as much about getting murdered in a parking garage or robbed or raped is not synonymous with living in a hellscape. Arlington had 2 murders in 2022 and 2023. MoCo had 21 in 2022 and 29 in 2023 and its population is only four times bigger than Arlington’s. North Arlington near Langston is one of the safest parts of Arlington. Silver Spring is one of the most dangerous parts of MoCo.

Prices reflect this. You are not getting a deal in Woodside. You’re paying to living in a charming house in an undesirable area.[/quote]

And where do you live that is so superior?[/quote]
