Sounds like someone is trying to hype up their neighborhood.  Must be the realtor.  I've never heard of SV at all and DH is from DC area, grew up here.  Our friends all grew up here too and have never heard of this place.  It's not like everyone in DC area is aspiring to buy a house there, come on.  It's probably the demographics of the area tend to be younger families, and not as much turn around as in areas where old people are cashing in and selling their old houses to developers for tear down.

This is 8:17, and I am not 7:29, a realtor, or a current or past resident of SV.  Given the anonymity of DCUM, you could spend half your time on this forum claiming that everyone is a sock puppet if you want, so feel free to do so here.

Your post makes virtually no sense.  The DC area is a large one.  If you grew up here, the odds that you'll be familiar with most area neighborhoods by name is very slight, even if you are a realtor.  So your lack of familiarity with SV doesn't mean much, and the idea that you'd go out and poll your friends to find out whether they'd heard of SV is, on its face, ridiculous.

On the other hand, if you're looking in the McLean/Tysons/Vienna area, and you have a budget under $1 M, the odds that you've heard of SV are pretty good.  If you've ever been to Wolf Trap, and wondered what the name of the residential neighborhood outside Wolf Trap where the streets have names like "Trombone Court" and "Tuba Court," the odds that you've heard of SV are also good.  The homes themselves aren't much different from those in many other parts of NoVa.    But the neighborhood has a community pool, it's close to Wolf Trap, it's more affordable than some of the nearby areas in Vienna and Great Falls, and it happens to be in a more sought-after school pyramid (Colvin Run/Longfellow/McLean) than the adjacent communities in Vienna zoned for Marshall (sorry, but still true).   Put it together, and you end up with a neighborhood where some homes will usually - but not always - sell quickly when they go on the market.

Of course that doesn't mean that everyone in the DC area is aspiring to buy a house there, but that was never the question. [/quote]
