[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why Town of Vienna specifically?[/quote]

Yeah, what is the deal with Vienna? Seems like it’s blowing up recently.[/quote]

Agreed. I don’t bat an eye when I see McLean or N Arlington over $2-3M but I’m befuddled by the amount of $2M+ homes in Vienna and even $3M+ - and how fast they sell!!

What do these people do - are they all working in Tyson’s or remote given the commute to DC from Vienna is brutal?  Are they overleveraged? Family $ in some form or another eg they’re going to inherit so they can skip saving and double down on a large mortgage?  [/quote]

How is the commute to DC from Vienna brutal?[/quote]

It isn't. People just like saying that. Is it like a commute from Arlington? Of course not. But the commute is very similar to most of the Fairfax County area.[/quote]

[b]It's a brutal commute to DC [/b]and longer than a commute to DC would be from Annandale, Falls Church, or McLean, not to mention Arlington.  We lived in Vienna for several years and eventually found the commute to DC intolerably long and unpredictable. [/quote]

It is not a "brutal commute to DC" in the grand scheme of the DMV. Is it longer than heading across Chain Bridge into Georgetown from McLean? Or longer than walking across Key Bridge from Rosslyn? Sure. But a "brutal commute"? Lol. No. Not PP. [/quote]

Of course all of the current ToV owners are chiming in about how lovely the commute is, really, and we just don’t have any idea - they have to keep up the pretense to keep property values climbing as fast as they are! [/quote]

It’s a good commute to Tysons or Reston but a soul-sucking commute to DC.  If you’re commuting to DC I’d think long and hard before committing to Vienna. [/quote]

Yeah, well, if op can’t afford Vienna they will likely have to go even farther out.[/quote]

Or adjust expectations for OP’s budget. The idea that you can’t buy for under $2 million in Vienna is nuts. Maybe not a behemoth new build McMansion, but there are homes that come up.[/quote]

+1. OP can't afford a new build in Vienna. Real estate is a compromise for everybody but the 001%.[/quote]

I’m dying to know OPs HHI and if the $2M ceiling is because of budget or preference[/quote]
