[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this house!  We rented around the corner and the kids were always at the path or nearby elem. school.  I never get people bitching about a small yard in a location like this.  [b]It is urban/city living[/b].  Less to mow![/quote]

Here's the thing I don't understand:  if you want urban/city living, why not live in the city?  I truly don't understand why anyone would pay $2M to live in Arlington.  If you want city living, buy in D.C.  If you want suburban living, buy in McLean or Great Falls.  Arlington has none of the appeal of a city and little appeal of the suburbs other than decent public schools.  And honestly, private schools are better anyway, so if you could afford a $2M house, why on earth would you send your kids to Arlington public schools???[/quote]
Because very few areas of DC check the box on both "city living" and "good for families." Usually it's one or the other.  The choice to live in Arlington to enjoy all the benefits of a close-in, urban-style location PLUS suburban benefits for families is a no-brainer for families who are inclined that way and can afford it.
