[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay everyone take a deep breath.  We are relying on a real estate blog from San Mateo California to judge neighborhoods (Rose Hill), cities (Chantilly) and areas (Tyson's Corner).    Let's think about this for a minute.[/quote]

It's actually more objective and without bias. [/quote]

Okay, I have reviewed the "objective" criteria used:  Centreville:  low crime rate and median income higher than 78% of the state -- of course to both - it is far suburbia and with a young population so income is going to be higher than in the poor parts of the state; McLean - crime rate is lower than 58% of the state - DUH, again -- it is a wealthy suburban community with low crime; Alexandria - proximity to hiking trails; Tyson's Corner exceptional HIGH SCHOOL graduation rate; where is the high school in Tyson's Corner?  It isn't Marshall; it isn't Madison -- where is the high school?; same thing for "outdoorsy" Annandale - really -- the endless strip malls along Little River Turnpike?.  Quality of schools is not mentioned, level of college graduates and those with professional degrees; proximity to pubic transportation, libraries, medical facilities, airports, etc.  
If you want to live in a place known for its high school graduation rate or its proximity to hiking, this is the "study" for you.  [/quote]

You seem like you have a chip on your shoulder, if you're deducing such simplistic, totally singular reasoning about the places you mentioned. [/quote]

Not PP but if you read the captions under the photos, that is how the communities are described.   For example, Old Town Alexandria says it offers hiking opportunities.  I live in Alexandria City and it has hiking along the river but so much more.   Maybe of the entire study were available it would help[/quote]
