[quote=Anonymous]The thing about south arlington, is that in the majority (but not all) of the SFH areas, you would not be able to tell the difference from the average north arlington areas. Not the big country club hills etc, but the nice expanded colonials, capes and arts/crafts. It seems like the only difference is the clustering of low income apartment areas mostly around the pike. Yet, the difference is clearly in the schools where there are kids from poor backgrounds. I am a single mom, I needed to live close in without much of a commute. I was priced out of Falls Church City and North Arlington when I bought in summer 2013 (crazy prices and little inventory). For 750k I have a hell of a house that was turnkey. I love it, and never want to leave the house. you do what you need to do. If you don't get caught up in scores and demographics, south arlington is a perfectly safe place and your kid will do fine. And, if enough people like me get over the north arlington hype and invest a life down here in the south, the demographics will change and so will the scores that everyone worries about. [/quote]
