[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Pimmit Hills since 1998 and moved there because each house has about quarter acre of land where I could garden. The houses were also very affordable at the time.

The bad stuff you've heard about Pimmit Hills is all in the long past--ever since the real estate market started going up, new young families have been moving in fixing up the houses. Most houses by now have been remodeled or increasingly being torn down and large brand new houses are being built on the property. That's the direction this neighborhood is moving. Housing prices can range from $400K to believe it or not, a million (a new house near me was selling for $1.25M).

It's a great, quiet, diverse community with friendly, normal people. There are beautiful large trees everywhere (we love our trees), lots of parks and it's a great place to go for a walk or jog.

The location can't be beat as it is right inside the Beltway in between Rt 7, Rt. 123 and Rt 66. You can walk to Trader Joe's, Whole Food, Jason's Deli, etc. There's the West Falls Church Metro nearby and another metro coming in. Of course, it borders the Tysons Corner area with all that entails. Fairfax County plans to make all of Tysons accessible by walking or biking which means we may even be able to walk to the Tysons Corner shopping mall someday.

Pimmit Hills has an active Citizens Association ([url]http://pimmithills.org[/url]) with a dedicated group of young people with families on the PHCA board who are active in working with the local government to better the community. They also work closely with the McLean Citizens Association as Pimmit Hills is really more part of McLean than Falls Church.

Pimmit Hills doesn't have a homeowners association as it is proudly a 'property rights' community which means no one can tell you what color you need to paint your shutters or require huge monthly homeowner fees. Yes, that does mean some people do some unusual things with their property (all within Fairfax County regulations), but you'd really be surprised at how nice the houses are inside. I know of a house that has a gorgeous wine cellar that would rival any in Potomac, MD.

Take the recommendation of people who actually live here now, it's a jewel in a great location with nice, normal people.[/quote]
