...no we will not stop
AOC will stop you.

Sleeper hit would be the Annapolis area...so many jobs are going mostly remote, so why wouldn't you live on the waterfront with a boat instead of in a DC rowhouse when they both pretty much cost the same. The commute to DC daily would be terrible, but if you only had to go in once or twice a month? Completely worth it.
We bought waterfront just west of Annapolis proper 5 years ago and our appreciation has been, frankly, shocking. We bought next to lots of "shacks" which are now luxury homes. It's been a wild ride.

I don’t understand what you are asking for. People are priced out of areas so they move into other areas. What would you have someone who can’t live in North Arlington do other than move to South Arlington? If they’re actually living there (versus investors/developers leaving it empty or doing a flip) then they have every right to be there as anyone else.

I don’t understand this. I live near the purple line and I can’t think of why I would get on it.

The Annapolis area has more going for it than DC commuters. There’s lots of federal jobs in Fort Meade bringing a lot of economy to that area, not to mention Northrup Grumman and Baltimore jobs. Calling it a “sleeper hit” is assuming that DC is all of the economy in the region, when it is actually only a fraction of the economy in the DMV.

Try anacostia and other areas in ward 8. Last area of DC that is not that crazy expensive.

But back on topic.
I'm going to go with Dulles Corridor near the metro stops.
PG County in the under appreciated areas close in (not College Park or Hyattsville).
I agree the Dulles Corridor and Tyson's area. Good job market, close to metro, good schools.
