The Army is moving 6,400 jobs to Mark Center at 395 and Seminary road. <BR/><BR/>They originally were moving these jobs to the boonies of Ft Belvoir but decided that the Alexandria location was better. It's on the border with Arlington. <BR/><BR/>This is on the other side of 395 from me so I won't see increased traffic. <BR/><BR/>There will be higher real estate prices in this area.<BR/><BR/>Mark Center is close to the value houses of Parkington, Fairlington, Parkfairfax, the barrios of 4 Mile Run (expect improvements there), and already pricey parts of Alexandria and Arlington. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The area's lower cost housing option, the aging Seminary Towers, will certainly get more expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-33471721642642779622008-10-01T23:13:00.000-04:002008-10-01T23:13:00.000-04:00What about McLean?
