I was not referring to PH, I was referring to McLean. But now you have me convinced it is indeed both.

No, I'm not one of your mythological older McLean residents freaking out about their property taxes, either.

I just know the housing mix in Pimmit Hills, McLean and Vienna is quite different. You can drive through the neighborhoods, and look at ACS data, and the differences are quite obvious.

It is what it is. If being squarely in the middle mattered that much, they could have taken their money elsewhere and bought larger houses with longer commutes, lower-rated schools, etc.

Explain.

It's important to some PH residents to assert that the housing there is similar to housing in much of, or most of, McLean or Vienna. It isn't. It's still, for the most part, smaller and less expensive.

But it's not a poor area by any stretch, and those folks could easily live in another area where the surrounding neighborhoods would, indeed, be quite similar to theirs. They chose to live in a more affordable part of one of the most expensive parts of the DC region.

If you compare the county's rating of "construction quality" for both placed you will see similarities. Of course there are mansions in McLean with Average construction. I think you are thinking of how a home presents-outward appearance, landscaping, re-models, fancy smancy counters, which is different from the quality of construction.

PP is talking out of his ass. I would bet he knows maybe one person who lives in McLean. Maybe we can limit this discussion to people who know what they are talking about; actual residents of PH and/or McLean. I have property in both.

And other PP, the "mythical" older McLean residents are indeed NOT mythical, and you mailed it. BOY do they have too much time on their hands. And talk about a need for anxiety meds - the pharma industry could easily close shop after serving the older McLean busy bodies that are hell bent on others being as miserable as them. They dream up issues and wonder why they are so miserable. For real??!!

Neighbor is that you? Yeah, it is not mythical at all. Aging in place is supposed to reduce anxiety and despair right? I see plenty of well-adjusted people aging in place, but it just takes a few bat shit crazy, unmedicated, obsessive, gossipy and hostile people aging in place to make you question if this is the best idea. A little valium and an antidepressant might work wonders. If I ever get like that with age I will medicate myself until I'm pleasant again. We have one lady you cannot even say "hello" too without her seeing it as an invitation to complain or gossip and she treats anyone under 55 as an insolent child who needs to be reprimanded.
