[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come no one on here ever mention Rosslyn (22209) or North Highland (22201). There are great selection of townhouses and some sfh in those two areas and are so incredibly convenient. A ton of people with money have moved into the area, now there's hardly a listing that is not a shabby condo in one the old 1950's building. The new condos are snapped up quickly. I have a friend that has been waiting for six months for a townhouse to come on the market there. I am surprised that all the savvy real estate people on here are so unaware of what's going on there. One developer has been so impressed with the price  point and quickness some of the condos are selling, they have postponed plans for an office tower in favor of residential tower because the demand is so strong, particularly from people with deep pokers. Construction will brick ground January 21 last I heard. The school pyramid is Key/Williamsbug/Yorktown.[/quote]

You beat me to it poster.  That is exactly the area I was going to mention, particularly as OP has only one child and her husband travels.  He would have great access to the airport (one of the reasons so many high net worth people bought at Turnberry Towers and Waterview) and she would have little maintenance at places like Palisades or Highgate.  The single family houses on Troy and Taft Streets are either being renovated or replaced by new house, but of a scale that suits rather than overwhelms the neighborhood.  The Dawson Terrace Rec Center has a great play area and the whole area feels very outdoorsy.  The new center at Vietch and Lee Highway with the MOMS market and retail is gong to transform the quiet little pocket of North Highland especially.  If you are living there, kudos to you for making a smart real estate buy.[/quote]
