Which Northern Virginia Neighborhood Made National 'Yuppiest' Neighborhood List?

Arlington County’s Clarendon community is on a Top 9 list of “Yuppiest Neighborhoods in America,” compiled by Thrillist.com.

“...a developing neighborhood hasn’t truly reached peak gentrification until the hipsters themselves have been priced out -- by, you guessed it, the yuppies,” Thrillist.com says, explaining how they decided to choose the neighborhoods on their list.

Others on the list include LoDo in Denver, West 6th Street in Austin, Pearl District in Portland, South Lake Union in Seattle, Lincoln Park in Chicago, Back Bay in Boston, Brickell in Miami, The Marina District in San Francisco.

Here’s how Thrillist.com describes Clarendon:

“This Virginia neighborhood across the river from DC blends the quietude of suburbia with the bustle of city life, which makes it perfect for the professionals who work on K Street. Single and young families alike call this place home, and chain staples like Pottery Barn, Whole Foods, and Lululemon are interspersed with just enough local bars and restaurants to keep the newly minted post-grad yuppie-types from fully realizing the commercial existence they’ve bought into.”
