[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your aunt demand an HGTV-ready kitchen? A bedroom for each child, plus a guest room, plus an office? A two-car garage? A master bathroom with dual sinks? Ten-foot ceilings, built-ins, and a screened-in porch with television hookup and wet bar? Or did she buy a 2-3BR/1-2BA with street parking and no air conditioning, in a new tract development that used to be someone’s farm? You can still get a bare-bones place built on newly developed farmland. But it will be a TH in Warrenton. Because that’s the way population and urban expansion work. [/quote] A 2-3BR in Arlington is still 800k minimum. I promise you there are no maids doing that. And of course you can do that in Warrenton but good luck commuting to the Watergate from Warrenton. And add to that I’m sure arlington was more expensive than Warrenton in the 60s. [/quote] In the 60s and 70s all of that housing in Arlington was post WWII housing and it was filled with blue collar workers. It slowly turned white collar over the years. Housing in Arlington was undesirable and therefore low priced. [/quote] Yea but a lot of those same undesirable homes are currently selling for $800k+ as tear downs. [/quote]
