- 07/15/18 06:56 AM
Triangle Virginia is a small town just off I-95 in Northern Virginia which is next to the Marine Corps base at Quantico Virginia. The exit from 95 to Triangle is also the same exit for the Marine Corps Museum, so it is easy to find. According to Wikipedia, Triangle has just about 2600 households and it occupies approximately 2.6 square miles. What the Wikipedia entry doesn't tell you, however, is that it is home to the Lazy Pig, a barbecue restaurant worth the side trip!

ALL ABOUT WYNGATE Wyngate home values have changed rapidly recently. For years, builders have eyed the ramblers, Cape Cods and small colonials in this neighborhood on the north side of Bethesda, where prices haven’t soared as high as they have in other parts of town. One by one, these modest, aging homes are being torn down and replaced by much bigger four- and five-bedroom homes that maximize the lot size—and double the price. Families can still get an older home for less than $700,000, but you also have the larger new homes. In fact, many of the buyers of the new homes are Wyngate (7 comments)

You might find that you actually decide to focus on coops as a result! From No Financing to Recognition Agreements Before 1979 no bank in Washington had authority to lend money secured by the pledge of a borrower’s ownership interest in a coop. (4 comments)
