I saw this place for sale maybe a year or so ago. I guess they took it off the market and then relisted. Wow somebody really overpaid for a tacky "complete renovation," and it's still only 890 sq. ft. Not for me
That crazy part is that all the other listings in the neighborhood support this price

I live in PH. I chose it over Vienna but I understand exactly what it is, and what it is not. There's no point praising one and putting another down. They are very different depending on what one wants and prioritizes.
Very well-reasoned post, thank you. I chose Vienna over PH. Do I live in a "better" place? No. Better for me. Everyone has different preferences.
I guess the only downside to any of this is that PH used to be a pocket of affordability for middle class homeowners and renters. Vienna used to have more of this, but very little anymore. Pretty soon the only affordable places to live in the greater tysons area will be apartments that they are forcing the developers to offer below market.

OP is definitely right that those zip codes are doing better than town of Vienna in terms of appreciation.
And DC and VA are doing much better than MD over past three years.

The quality of the teardown construction in the Town of Vienna used to be much higher than in Pimmit Hills, but they seem to be converging. The new houses in Pimmit Hills are getting nicer, while the Town of Vienna is now full of ugly JDA homes and cheap-looking "Craftsman" houses that aren't nearly as nice as what was being built there 3-4 years ago. Might as well just tear down a few blocks, put in a new Toll Brothers development, and be done with it for a while.

It does? Had to check the address to see if it was Pimmit Hills or Vienna Woods.

Its about the same to vienna compare, pimmit had a fun of tear downs, if anything it will develop much higher than vienna because of the tyson silver line, vienna has nothing to grow its value.

A lot of investor cash is flowing into these zip codes, primarily due to Tysons development, to a lesser extent the Dunn Loring metro projects. It's all academic as to whether pimmit hills vs. vienna is better, considering it all depends on where in tysons you are trying to go. Either way, expect a lot of flips, large increase in rents, and a lot of teardowns in all of these zips.
