When the residential housing stats come out for home sales and average home price sold, the zip code of 22207 always has the distinction of having the most expensive average home sales price in the county. Averages, however, are always skewed by the highest and lowest prices in the range of numbers being used to calculate the average. Those handful of homes in the 22207 zip that are priced at over a few million dollars, say for instance the one that recently sold for about $5 million with its outrageous view of the Potomac River, will definitely skew the average.
Even without those extreme high-end homes, 22207 would probably have a high average sales price. The reason?
Schools.
Schools across the County are all terrific, but many homebuyers seek 22207 schools. It’s a big draw.
Also, it’s a fairly residential area, with lots of big trees and very hilly. Tough to find a flat lot in 22207.
There are many wonderful neighborhoods in this Arlington Virginia zipcode. Over time I’ll highlight them all.
