[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but your jumble of purported statistics is less than compelling.  On the other hand, it's easy enough to look at the Census explorer tool and the NY mapping and see that other neighborhoods in 22043 (both the Haycock and Idylwood areas), 22041 and 22044 are all higher-income areas with higher median housing prices than Pimmit Hills or the small area in 22046 that feeds into Timber Lane.

Even if values per SF are higher in Pimmit Hills than some of the other areas, so what?  People in the other neighborhoods live in larger homes in more attractive neighborhoods.  I'd pick them in a heartbeat over Pimmit Hills.

No one lives in PH for the beauty or for architecture, it wins on other criteria. Location, schools, parks, price, commute, amenities, did I say location? But if you want a uniformly beautiful, manicured neighborhood, then it is not PH.  I live in PH and admit this freely. We didn't pick it for the looks. But we are very happy here. [/quote]

[b]Then why can't you just say it works for you?[/b]  Instead, you and other PH boosters keep blabbing about how it "wins" and "beats" other parts of Falls Church that are far prettier and have equally good locations, at least if you work in DC.  And the schools are not that much better than the schools in other parts of the county, unless you have an unhealthy obsession with GreatSchools.   [/quote]
I thought I did; do you realize than more than one person likes PH and we aren't at all responsible for what anyone else says?  I think that PH is a better bet than 22041/22042 but not a better bet than FCC and other parts of 22043 if you have the budget. Generally people who can afford a comparable house in FCC or non-PH parts of 22043 do not look at PH as an option, but I exclude 22041/22042 from this calculation because these areas, in my opinion, lose to PH on criteria other than looks.  [/quote]

I think Pimmit Hills loses because, in my opinion, it's one of the ugliest neighborhoods in the region, the congestion around Tysons is horrible, and the schools aren't among the county's best.  I'd live in numerous neighborhoods in 22041 or 22042 before I'd ever consider Pimmit Hills.  [/quote]

You seem pretty focused on pimmit hills.

Pimmit hills, is near Tysons but is closer and right next to McLean so you can take great falls road if you wish to avoid route 7.

I like how you said the schools aren't the best and then say "I pick 22041 and 22042" without mentioning the school quality of those said areas.

Does 22041 and 22042 have 2 metro stops on near each side of the neighborhood?

Is there a multi billion dollar redevelopment plan that will stretch into an area across the street turning it into walkable area with retail?

Again I don't even live in Pimmit Hills and am very objective. Your arguments are very strange and go like "I think that this is the best because I say so and the pimmit hills is bad because it's not the best" (never mind the very thing you are arguing doesn't sport being better).[/quote]
