Lived in Arlington for about 5 years (Rosslyn, Crystal City, and Ballston). Great place to be single and great paying jobs in the area. Owned a car but used public transport as much as possible. Compared to other neighboring counties (Fairfax, Alexandria, etc), Arlington is the better choice for a non family person.

I’m moving there too

Lack of parking is not a con. Less parking = less cars = less traffic = less noise.

[@ChrisColgan]

That's a great perspective to have!

As a life-long Fairfax County resident, I could never imagine moving to Arlington! Haha. That being said, I do see why it's so popular for folks to live there. You get access to the city, with both urban or suburban lifestyle access. I think a lot of people think of living in NoVa is mainly for people who work in DC proper, but the sprawl of the area makes NoVa its own destination. I know plenty of people who live in Reston or McLean and work in Arlington, and rarely go to the city. To me, that's what makes this such a strong housing market - not everyone works in DC, they work all over the place.

I need to do a Fairfax one. Any areas you suggest?

[@WanderThisWay]

@@ChrisColgan I'd definitely start with the development from Tyson's to Reston, how lots of new homes and offices are being tied to the metro expansion (although will we ever see a day the Silver Line successfully runs out to Ashburn?). So there's a pro if public transport works - con if it doesn't! I'd also say pro is the affordability of home prices down 95S - but the traffic on there is terrible! Pro - definitely the schools if you have kids, lots of employment opps in tech, engineering, federal, defense, public service. Cons - Traffic, Development disorganization (i.e. 66), Costs (Reston used to be affordable and now new home builds go for 800K+ easily!

I rented in Arlington when I moved to the area 11 years ago. When I got married, we decided to buy a house in Fairfax County. After two years of living in Fairfax we missed Arlington so much that we moved back and rented while we waited for a single family home in Virginia Square to hit the market in our price range. Six years later, I love this place more than ever and have no regrets. Raising a child here is great with access to the parks and great schools.

This seems like a good place for me I’m 22

[@Arlington411]

Yep all true

[@brianlovelady6517]
