The silver line is almost done so the bordering mid level income apartments to the north will be replaced by high income high rises that line the edge of the new tyson corner city. All in all I predict a boom like or exceeding north arlington and it's city build up.
I would also ignore the naysayers who have their heads stuck in the 80s who consider it to be a bad neighborhood. The fact is unlike other up and coming areas where the schools have bad ratings , pimmit hills has very good schools so all the pieces of the puzzle are there for it to be a good investment and nice place to live where you don't have much risk of waiting for it to gentrify and can live there now.
The only thing that's bad about Pimmit Hills is that it's aesthetically challenged. Still mostly small old homes in so-so condition, and the quality of the additions and new construction varies wildly. Good location and schools, and quite safe. Just don't expect the chain link, ugly siding, or cut-rate McMansions to disappear overnight. The Tysons plan keeps the neighborhood intact, for better or worse.
