Why is McLean so prestigious?

[Anonymous]

McLean has the VIPs and the most expensive suburban homes in the DC area along with Chevy Chase. Hate to break that to you.

In any case, you tip your hand by suggesting only one place in the region can be “prestigious.” You must spend a lot of time looking over your shoulder.

Bethesda is more expensive and prestigious IMO.

No.

McLean is too young. And if McLean benefited, so did just about all of NOVA. But McLean is different, no? And it's plenty diverse even if it's not the woke diversity.

Real world isn't Woke Soc 101.

McLean is more expensive; prestige is in the eye of the beholder.

Mclean = Potomac, Bethesda = Vienna, Arlington = Silver Spring, Fairfax = Rockville

As someone who has lived in multiple areas of MoCo and NoVa this is my best analogy for prestige and also for the general culture, demographics, and feel of each area.

I think Potomac = great falls, Bethesda = McLean, Silver Spring is more lower than Arlington

CC-MD = McLean; Potomac = Great Falls; Bethesda = Fairfax County

Vacant lots in McLean are 1.5 million

McLean is prestigious because it has the word "lean" in it, which invokes an image that all of the people there are fit, trim, and healthy.

Your opinion is irrelevant. Facts and home prices dictate that McLean is more expensive.

Teardowns (at least in my neighborhood) are over 2m.

^ this is the closest one. I'd have thought that Bethesda = Arlington, since their downtowns are indistinguishable, both have older houses on small lots near downtown, etc.
