I will agree that the Philly and Boston suburbs are nicer, but Bethesda is the closest that this area has to old money. It’s changing into McCraftsman and it’s a shame, but still a lot of beauty close in

Bethesda? Maybe once upon a time in certain pockets, but not anymore.

DMV Old money pockets are the following:

-Chevy Chase Village
-Kenwood
-Middleburg / The Plains / Upperville / Delaplane area
-and a few select places in Alexandria (some still in Belle Haven, some old money folks still by the water, some in old town)

Yep, there are some nice pockets of Bethesda but much of it has now become ugly generic McCraftsmans on tiny lots.

But you're also stereotyping. There are plenty of others - mostly White and Asian - building and buying newer homes in McLean, Great Falls, and Potomac.

And they don't GAF that some don't like their houses, which is what bothers folks like OP. They want to be the arbiters of good taste, and for others to aspire to live in houses like theirs, and instead they are just ignored. It makes them feel irrelevant.

Lmao, “it makes them feel irrelevant”. Ma’am, are you okay?

It is no where close to that deep. These houses are just intriguingly fugly and you don’t have the be the “arbiter of good taste” to recognize this.

The second one is fine. The first one is a bit fugly but not really that bad. If these are the best examples you can find, then your complaint seems intriguingly silly.

Imagine insulting someone for making a typo while typing on a phone keypad and thinking that you just did a big gotcha. Midwit energy.

Those aren’t the houses OP mentioned. She is calling out the homes that Saudis build in McLean - that is an ethnic slur.

Imagine being so illiterate that you blame everything on the phones that you normally rely upon to correct you.

There’s over 12k SFH in McLean. How many do you think are saudis. Let it go, it’s mostly old white people and new family money.

There is a lot of bad architecture all over. Buyers of any ethnicity might buy a house with bad architecture for a wide range of different reasons - including schools.

+1. Not everyone can (or cares) to order up the exact house of their dreams, even at that price point. Sometimes you just need a house in a certain timeframe. BTDT.
