[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flooding.  I also like old town but the nearby neighborhoods seem to have major water issues during big storms.   As sea levels rise it will only get worse.  Initially I though flooding was isolated to old town but I have learned how wrong I was.  Also, I like to live in an area with good public schools as a backup even though my kids don’t go to them.[/quote]

OP here. This is good to know, I thought the problem was confined to old town. But it seems like places like Rosemont and Beverly Hills don’t have those issues, do they? And those neighborhoods seem really lovely and a short drive to old town (as I said I want a suburban feel but a quick drive to a downtown).[/quote]

You can see the problem areas on this site.  Rosemont has a lot of red.

I just used this to look up a bunch of addresses and I really appreciate the resource!

I did come back here to add though that it says 15% of homes in Alexandria are "at risk" of some flooding - but so are 9% of homes in Arlington.  There are definitely zones in Alexandria (esp. Old Town) that are high risk but I really don't think flooding is a reason to choose Arlington, McLean, or Bethesda over Alexandria.  It just is another factor to consider when looking at a specific home.[/quote]
