[quote=Anonymous]OP, I will probably get flamed for this, but if you are looking for community feeling and aren't super wealthy, you may want to consider the next town over - Vienna. I wanted to live in McLean but our $800k budget wouldn't go very far in McLean. The public schools in Vienna do not have test scores as high as McLean or Langley HS, but they are close behind. And if your child is very bright they can go to the STEM high school (Thomas Jefferson).

We have been in Vienna for a little over two years and really like it. There is a great Moms group that always has something going on and the town has loads of holiday events (a little carnival on Memorial Day weekend, a Halloween parade, Santa Claus driving through the neighborhoods on a fire truck in Decembet, etc.). There are cracker-box old houses, 1970s colonials and brand new houses that are selling for $1.3 mil. The W&OD trail runs through several neighborhoods an depending where you live, you could walk to a grocery store and the post office.

Like I said, we didn't set out to live in Vienna. But I am really happy we ended up here. Check us out, we'd love to have you in the 'hood.[/quote]
