It’s not McLean. It’s a bad elementary in falls church. I’m sick of these style houses - they will age terribly

Also too close to Leesburg Pike and the Beltway

Marshall High School is ranked #6 in VA

I think it will help the house prices.

You can get a nice house in McLean at that price point. Doesn’t make sense to buy in summit hills unless you don’t have kids.

I'm the pp. we were not priced out of McLean but did not want to buy there because we value socioeconomic and racial diversity.

Why didn’t you just go to Herndon if you care so much?

I can't stand facades where the garage door(s) are a major component of the facade. Put the garage entrances on the side, for Pete's sake.

I’m so confused by the hate. I think this looks like a very nice home for the money! Now I’m self conscious about what my house looks like….ack

I’m sure you’ll be protesting vigorously against the near teardown in Pimmit Hills in order to preserve the economic diversity there.

Pimmit Hills is a cheaper version of McLean/FCC, but it’s still expensive, which is why these threads get started every few months.

Sorry that was rude, I just think it's interesting when people claim they choose an area for diversity, but they only want just the right amount of diversity while still getting a good school that benefits from having a mix of high SES kids.

The only pyramids in FCPS with more expensive real estate than Marshall are Langley, McLean, Madison, and Oakton, but be fair, that’s what some people in McLean would say as to why they avoided Langley.

Are people priced out of McLean?

I think the house is overpriced by 300k

so it's wrong to want diversity and good educational outcomes for my kids? Better for my POC kids to go to school where no one looks like them?
