Wood Pointe Way
This is a GREAT home! This house is now at the top of the list, followed by the house on Northedge.
There was a lot of foot traffic in the house today, but everyone was a neighbor snooping (save one couple).
The neighborhood is in great condition and you can tell people take pride in their homes. There were a mix of younger (Nash and Zibby age) and older (teenager) families all along the street.
The commute to the Huntsman Shopping Center for the Pentagon bus took less than 5 minutes.
The commute from the Pentagon South Parking Lot took me 21 minutes, door-to-door on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Expect to double that time or even triple it during peak rush hour. I took I-395 through Springfield and then bailed off onto the Lorton exit (#163). I think where time can be made or loss in your commute will be at the Springfield mixing bowl (monstrosity of a road project that was started during your very first tour to Germany and is only now being finished...thanks VDOT).
The house is priced right to move. I think it won't last long on the market. Maybe 10-15 days. Hopefully when your parents come up on Tuesday they'll look at this one first. I think investment-wise you'd be able to rent it out easily as well. Lolly said a lot of the properties in the Crosspointe neighborhood rent at $2800 per month and up. She thinks this one could easily rent for $3,000+. She also said that since most properties are highly sought after in that neighborhood, they rarely sit on the market for more than 22 days.
OK, now the video tour...
