[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want to know?

My spouse is a Realtor and I will say that it's probably THE most coveted ES in Arlington. Very small zoning footprint, though. You'll need to spend around $1 million to get into the district.

Demographically it looks like most of the top schools in North Arlington -- predominately white, extremely low FARMS. No test scores yet since it's new.

They have an indoor slide.

That sums it up.  If you like the neighborhood, and can afford it, go for it. Your kids will be zoned for Yorktown, as well.

There will be some extremely rich people in school with your kids.  That richness will dominate the pta. They will raise tons of money, but events like the auction won't be low-keyed.  you won't be able to walk to much from many of the houses zoned there.

It wouldn't be my choice neighborhood (and I have the million), but I have friends up there who like it and they are nice people.

So, just curious.  If you have the million, what would be a better choice?  Lyon Village?[/quote]

It would really depend on a person's priorities (and I'm not sharing mine).  Arlington people have sorted themselves based on:

a) proximity to metro,
b) size of lots
c) high school preference (and there are arguments for and against all three neighborhood high schools)
d) income 
e) like metro but dislike 20-somethings
f) liked a certain house.
g) how much they hate crowded schools
h) if they want their kids to be with / not with....

Pretty much it is all good.

Most of the crap posted here is a tempest in a teapot.[/quote]
