[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say this yet new homes that come up for sale in PH get bought pretty quickly, even at $900K.

As for crap McMansions, do you think they design them specially for PH? NoVa is full of them. PH certainly holds no monopoly.

I say this without reference to North Arlington, as I think the comparison between it and PH is just silly. Two completely different places.  But I think PH has its attractions that make this comparison unnecessary.[/quote]

There are only a handful of homes in Pimmit Hills that have ever sold for over $900K, and few sold quickly.

PH does not have a monopoly on McMansions.  It has a monopoly on local neighborhoods full of 1950s shacks and McMansions that its residents ridiculously tout as if it's somehow the next North Arlington.

The PH booster made the initial comparison to North Arlington, and it is indeed ridiculous.  The all-brick 1930s colonials and 1940s Cape Cod in Arlington are much nicer than the 1950s houses in PH.  So is most of the new construction in Arlington compared to what's thrown up in PH.   It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that people who could afford North Arlington would voluntarily choose to live in PH instead.     [/quote]
