This thread is idiotic. I grew up in Langley Oaks and live in Arlington (barely) in CB Forest. No one - not my McLean neighbors two houses down or my Arlington neighbors one house down debates this idea. Heck the house two down actually sits on the line ... One kid goes to McLean, the other Yorktown. 6 and a half....

I should add that this neighborhood has Saudis (not princes, were pretty middle class ) on both sides of the line.

Dubai, Georgetown and the Upper East Side?

McLean mofo

Not really. The Average HHI on the Arlington side of the McLean/Arlington line is actually higher -- www.census.gov

Not really

According to the census both of you are wrong. Apparently 22101 and 22207 are more alike than you care to admit, Saudis or otherwise.

In fact Mean Family Income for both Zip Codes are virtually identical:

City Zip Mean Family
McLean 22101 $205,408.00
Arlington 22207 $200,642.00

What is mcLean 22102 compared to these ?

Again. Not relevant to ME. We make triple that and also in Arl 22201.

Of course, but the a average tells you something when you have retires and some lower income families.

F C C has one redeeming thing that McL, N Arl, BCC, and NW DC do not have....curry mantra.

Trust me, they did think it in their head.

A fine example of DCUM at its worst. Uninformed, frustrated people having a shout fest.

Good night, ladies.

Who wants Saudis in their neighborhood??

Something to avoid, IMO.

Nope. Thats your head not theirs. But if they did, they took advantage of the best of both places in terms of public schools.

This neighborhood really does have the best of both counties.

This neighborhood really does have the best of both counties. And the homes are reasonably priced.

Not true. The census tract including country club hills and Arlingwood has higher home prices than any 22101 tract.

You must be rather challenged if you don't understand the difference between HHI income and housing prices, but 22101 has higher housing prices than 22207 in any event.

And yet, Arlington 22207 has the same average household income as McLean 22101 and higher than McLean 22102.

Facts speak. The census tracts in Arlington alongside McLean are higher income, younger, better educated. All this, despite half the lot sizes.

Feeling a little concerned about the future?

22207 has lower incomes than 22101, and 22101 has census tracts with higher incomes than any census tracts in Arlington, including those adjacent to McLean. Repeating the same lie repeatedly won't make it true.

OP, please bear in mind that the people who get in endless debates about ridiculous stuff are everywhere. Unfortunately two of them found their way to DCUM.

And neither of them are pulling their weight in HHI in their respective zipcodes. If they were- they wouldn't be so insecure.

Too many other Metro accessible areas being built up. Developers have pulled their money and are investing else where. That is the Canary in the mine. Many houses over 1.25m are sitting and have no takers.

Snort.

Metro isn't a desirable amenity.

LOL! My colleague moved to "Arlintucky" as we affectionately call it. She couldn't get to work today b/c her Mercedes convertible doesn't do well in the snow and the buses are running on a snow schedule. She wants to move back to DC.
