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]
So you are someone who values neighborhood aesthetics above other factors. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging this; you like what you like.  Generally, people appreciate good-looking neighborhoods but not to the exclusion of everything else, certainly not the inferior schools.  The congestion around Tyson's doesn't affect PH unless you work in Tyson's, and if you do, then your commute to Tyson's from PH, as congested as it is, is way shorter than from anywhere else. There are better schools in Ffx county than PH but they are found in generally more expensive areas, and people who can afford McLean or FCC don't usually choose PH. [/quote]

I don't think I'm such an outlier.  I see that when homes over $750,000 go on the market in PH, they don't sell very quickly.  I can find many more sales in Lake Barcroft or Falls Hill in that price range.  They are far nicer neighborhoods, and everyone knows that except for a handful of PH people who live in some parallel universe where PH is considered desirable. [/quote]

Ok here are some recent above 750k homes that went under contract very quickly and most were bidded past asking
