What’s up with the electrical in the first house? Picture 14 has a wire coming out of the wall through a hole right next to an outlet. Half the outlets don't have covers on. There’s another room with a hole next to an outlet. And the fridge is just plugged in over a counter?

Overpriced considering the amount needed to make them livable.

No, neither should be a tear down. Both houses are fine. But personally I don't know if I could put up with a sound wall. And house #1 needs to get those floors fixed or replaced so there aren't actual gaps, what a mess.

If my only choices are renting or buying a home that backs up to the beltway, I will happily rent forever.

Close to 495 is no joke. The first one is basically on 495. The soundwall is in the backyard.

They're both horrible.

No OP just no.

The first one the floors were installed very badly that house needs $100,000s of work.

Springfield no

If you are looking for a nice neighborhood (not DCUM standards, but normal people standards), come look in North Springfield.

Small, but good SFH for starter home. Both are just outside the beltway. Close to 495, 95, 395, and VRE. Metro a little further away, but near commuter lots, and bus that goes to the Pentagon. Great neighborhood pool and no HOA.
