I'd only do so sarcastically. I love PH and am proud that we've got our own thing going on.

PH is awesome. Location, location, location. And the people are nice, too.


I always thought of Pimmit as part of Mclean. Is it not?


It abuts McLean. It is what most of certain parts of McLean probably looked like, not that long ago (before the "transplants - BAHAHA!).


McLean had and still has some smaller, older homes, but it never had a development like PH with 1675 homes under 1200 square feet (many under 1000 SF).

Both McLean/22101 and Falls Church/22043, however, have seen major appreciation over the past decade, like North Arlington and unlike Great Falls.

Those two names have a nice ring to it.

Why does everything's about McLean turn into a PH or Arlington troll fest? Seriously, this thread is about GF and McLean and has nothing to do with PH or Arlington.

PH is no better than North Arlington. Not on par with McLean or GF.

pretty sure Pimmit has a Falls Church address, 22043, unless that's changed.

Prices peaked last year, and nothing has even come close to what we got last year, even on very comparable houses. I think -5% may even be a little light. Just averaging prices out in our old neighborhood, it might be closer to 8 or 9%.


So many places in the region have done better over the last decade than Great Falls. It's not just losing out to the close-in suburbs in NoVa, but also to the further-out suburbs in Maryland.

Winners are inside the Beltway or near Orange/Silver line. Great Falls is neither so it will keep languishing.

Don't get too carried away. It doesn't always end well.

I know a person who said he lives in McLean, only to find out he lives in Tysons. I guess there used to be some wiggle room on that before 2011, but not anymore now that they have their own mailing address.

I live in Pimmit Hills (and I love it). But I think I'm going to start calling it Southwest McLean or East Vienna just to see people's heads explode.
