[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using words like "high-end" or "upscale" to talk about Pimmit Hills (past, present or future) seems to send people into a frenzy.  I'd just drop the adjectives and suggest that Pimmit Hills fills a niche.  It's in a close-in location zoned for good schools.  You cannot find new single-family homes in the Yorktown, W-L, George Mason, Langley, McLean or Madison districts for under a million.  You can in Pimmit Hills.  You can't find such homes elsewhere in the Marshall district for under a million, either.  So expect more new construction in the $900K - $ 1 million range, and some builders trying to push into the million-plus category.

No one is going to raze the entire neighborhood, any more than they will parts of Arlington or McLean that have a mix of homes.   Arlington will continue to be more convenient for DC commuters, and McLean will continue to have more expensive, larger homes.  But, just as in those areas, the housing mix in Pimmit Hills will over time include a higher percentage of more expensive properties.  The new homes will start to have more polished exteriors, and the people looking for cheap teardowns/new builds will shift towards other areas, such as Falls Church/22042.            [/quote]
That is actually a very good summary.  The only thing I would add to PH description is a very good assortment of amenities it offers (sidewalks, parks, libraries, grocery stores etc.) plus its proximity to mass transit. [/quote]
