[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will never be upscale.  The newer construction are mostly tacky McMansions.  Most upscale neighborhoods (Georgetown, Wesley Heights, Chevy Chase, Great Falls) have some sense of history or charm to them.  You can't create history or charm in PH, thus, it will never be near upscale.[/quote]
What you call history or charm is really generational affluence, nothing else.[/quote]

many of the neighborhoods considered historic and charming (though perhaps not by the above PP) are areas that were working class until very recently.  Del Ray for example.   Many areas of Baltimore near the waterfront (the tiny size of the rowhouses is a giveaway to their historic SES - wealthy folks in that era lived in larger homes, with room for servants)

Among those that the PP above does list - Georgetown began life as an economically diverse small port town, then became an affluent suburb of the new federal city, then declined and became a (mostly working class?) african american area.  It did not gentrify (AFAICT) till after WW2, and as late as the early 1960's was still pretty hip and not uniformly affluent.
