What makes a neighborhood overrated?


Apparently-- some of the best public schools in the country, fantastic proxmity to the city, 99.9% walkability scores, restaurants, shops, gyms, 3 organic markets, movie theaters, 2 Metro stations.


Outdated $1m houses the size of shoeboxes, no yards, steady stream of twentysomethings, chicken coops (wait, that's coming)....

YMMV.


Sorry you didn't get the house.

Depends on where you live and where your social group wants to live. People in Northern VA tend to say Montgomery County is overrated. People from Montgomery County say that of Northern VA.

I am posting to announce that I am not posting, because I am so offended by this thread that I opened it up to announce that it offended me.
