[quote=Anonymous] Will it be upscale? No. Will it be high demand and a good investment? Yes. Location, location, location! It's walking distance to Safeway, a restaurant and the metro. It's a less than 5 minute drive to Whole Foods and Tysons corner. Not sure how Westgate school is though I know it's not at the level of McLean schools. What middle school and high school are they zoned for? Schools are the 2nd most important factor. Also, for some there is the appeal of no HOA. HOAs have many benefits-keep neighborhood looking upscale, pool resources, sometimes keep home values up *note sometimes* etc, There are many downsides to HOAs too control freak leaders, inability to make desired changes, lawsuits. If the HOA is sued everyone suffers. There usually isn't much of a legal fund and any lawsuits become public record and therefore may bring down the value of homes in the neighborhood. Would you want to live somewhere where you have to take legal action so you can build a backyard fence so your dogs can play out there? Would you want the HOA telling you that you chose the wrong type of new windows and if you don't change it they will take legal action? There are still independent minded people out there who would be willing to live in a neighborhood with 12 different types of homes, some of which are not as well kept, as long as they have the freedom to do what they want.[/quote]
