[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Major bubble in  North Arlington[/b]

Too many other Metro accessible areas being built up. Developers have pulled their money and are investing else where.  That is the Canary in the mine. Many houses over  1.25m are sitting and have no takers. [/quote]

BWAHAHAHAHA... I've lived in Arlington since 2000 and people were singing this song then... and now?Haha. Real estate is largely about location. Arlington is closer to DC - like it or not - and people will pay more for less time spent in cars. Quality of life, baby.[/quote]
Is there really a limitless supply of people making 300k a year?[/quote]

I don't know. My DH and I don't make near that. We did buy before the market took off, however.

I liken it to other major cities - London, NYC, LA, SF - those cities continue to see an increase in their Real estate. Lots of lawyers, lobbyists, doctors, international types buying and investing[b].[/quote]

You just described the people that reside in my Arlington neighborhood.  We have a huge international crowd at our public elem too.  22201 SFH near Metro.  2006-present saw very high HHI move in.[/quote]

London, NYC, LA, SF, Arlington.  Which one of these places doesn't belong with the others?

The pretentiousness of the new Arlington residents never ceases to amaze.  Yeah, Arlington is just like Mayfair, the Upper East Side, Beverly Hills and Pacific Heights.  With sensible shoes and vinyl additions, of course.  [/quote]

Dumb shit--I was talking about professions.  Yes- partners in law firms , doctors, judges, lobbyist, business owners.  I said nothing about how the dress.  Read your own insecurity into that one.[/quote]

Most of the professionals in this region live elsewhere in DC, MD and VA.  They just don't feel the need to make a big deal about it like the Arlington poseurs.  It's taken for granted people in their areas are accomplished.

But please do keep it up.  It helps others understand what living in "new money" Arlington is like. [/quote]
