I love that area! Arlington is clean, quieter, and more green space in Colonial/Lyon Village area. Plus it’s super convenient to all that DC has to offer
Cheap condos under $300k?! Is it a studio the size of a shoe box and/or in need of a lot of work??
D2, can I ask when you purchased and how much it’s appreciated?
I used to live in ballston and watched some condos hover at 400k for years without much movement

Can’t comment on those apartments, but lived a block away (corner of Lee Hwy and Veitch) for several years and think the neighborhood is solid. Used to walk to Gtown in like 20 minutes.
That said, it’s pretty quiet and family oriented. Sure there are bars in walking distance, but your neighbors will prob not tolerate any sort of bigger get togethers (even had complaints for small pregames).
There’s a reason why most folks in their earlier 20s live in the city, you’re closer to the action and things are generally more lively (chaotic at times).
But I get it, if you’re driven to buy, your options narrow down quite a bit. Good luck
Prices must really drop off the further you move out. I live in Clarendon(near the dog park) and the building next to me had a 2 bedroom sell for 700k plus 1k a month in condo fee.
