Walkability is nice, but many people trade that for a (perceived) better school district and different housing options (some people want a larger house/lot.) What is so hard to understand? It's all still in Arlington, we're not comparing the lifestyle of Clarendon vs Loudon.

Also, many wealthier folks aren't using Metro.

You just cannot compare the lifestyle of the homes that lie right next to Clarendon Metro, the Metro, the gyms, all the stores, groceries, festivals where people walk to school (both ASF/Key and W-L) and the homes that are in the suburbs of Arlington.

Yes the outer areas of 22207 are much closer than Loudon--it is still a suburb where all daily activities need a car---the exact opposite of the urban areas of 22201.

People buying over here are looking at more than schools. Several of the newest families moved from McLean with HS-age kids..and-yes- they are now attending W-L.[/quote]

Um, I'm not trying to compare exact lifestyles, but, yes you can make some comparisons as both districts are in Arlington which means (for the most part) same proximity to DC, same school district, same taxes, same local government, etc. One is more suburban, this is true. The other is more urban, yes. But there are trade off's to both. And like it or not, some people prefer CCH, or another part of N Arlington to LV or LP. I know we did, even though we had lived in Georgetown previously.

My sense is that you are trying desperately to tell us that your "walkable" neighborhood is vastly superior to everyone else's. You come off as arrogant. And get a grip. Clarendon ain't Paris.

Ummm...this started out with you Yorkies getting superior about your school.  It devolved into you trying to make the argument that schools control all real estate values.

Idiotic in both counts.[/quote]
