[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Indian (mentioning because someone above assumed that every Indian who lives in McLean has no interest in DC) and lived in Spring Valley for more than a decade. It was fine. I now live in McLean and love it. I can actually walk to more things now, and I disliked the social climbing /anxiety driven/ comparison culture of upper NW (but I too thought the area was classy when I lived there, because of the prevailing perception that it’s elite ). I was nervous to move to McLean because I assumed it would be even worse but I have found it much easier to avoid that here. There’s just more people and more diversity, so it feels easier to find good people and not be bothered by others who feel differently. The public schools are so much better (but not the case with privates). In SV, nearly everyone sent their kids to private after elementary school. We toured some but didn’t love the culture, so we are happier in public in McLean. I think it’s a very individual preference and a lot depends on whether you tend to try to find happiness where you’re at.[/quote] We moved from North Arlington and also found McLean to be more diverse and welcoming.
