[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different places are desirable to people with different preferences.

If you asked me, the answer is no, it’s not desirable to me— it’s too far outside the city and car-dependent. The thought of spending that much daily time driving is simply a nonstarter for me. But obviously it’s desirable to many who live and are hoping to live there, given the real estate values. [/quote]

Exactly. Not desirable to me because I prefer a more urban,  not car centric day to day but it certainly has its appeal. We can all choose what we like, so I will live in Dupont Circle and others can choose McLean.  I couldn't even begin to compare them they are so different. [/quote]

+1. My preferred form of transit for everything (school, work, errands) is a bike (if not walking) so somewhere like McLean was a hard no. I also prefer dense urban spaces and don’t care for bigger SFHs. I like to be within 10-15 min tops of everything. So when buying I looked to very specific neighborhoods within DC.  But obviously others have different priorities. There are beautiful homes in McLean, with big yards, and what many people find is an acceptable commute to them.

But anyway I don’t get the point of this thread. Some people like this neighborhood and some people like that neighborhood. They’re all expensive and competitive. Someone looking at a home in NW DC is not competing against someone looking in McLean. They have different priorities. Water is wet. [/quote]
