[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at who buys in McLean you see a lot of rich 1st generation immigrants (Indians love McLean). DC has no appeal to them, they are not white Gen X or Millennial hipsters. They do not care about the hottest new restaurants or anything DC has to offer, plus all the Asian grocery stores are in VA or MD and they tend to cook at home or have multigenerational households so they need more space. Asian immigrants also want the best school pyramid with access to advanced academic programs plus they want to apply to TJ and top VA colleges. [/quote]

Yes, two new houses on my street were sold within the past two years, one to an Indian family with a doctor, and the other to a Chinese family with an engineer. They all have young kids.[/quote]

Yes. It seems like the overall trend is the UMC / wealthy white “young” families stick to moco or N Arlington and McLean is the goal for the UMC / wealthy Indians and Asians. Putting young in quotations because they usually have young kids but the parents are minimum early / mid 40s. Lots of people having their first kid at or over 40 here and lots of second marriages w a younger wife who also wants kids. [/quote]

Honestly these kinds of generalizations are so dumb. I feel like it’s mostly based on your perceptions from reading DCUM vs actually knowing these areas well. [/quote]

Agree, in my neighborhood, a young white couple with a baby just moved in. Plus, two other families moved in over the past couple of years — they’re all white with teenager kids.[/quote]
