[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in North Arlington just off of the Chesterbrook neighborhood for many years and it served its purpose then.  As young empty nesters, though, we fled to the city the minute we could and haven’t looked back.  I cannot imagine anyone without children wanting to live in a place like that. It is boring as hell.[/quote]

We like McLean but I’m sorry you found North Arlington so boring.  There are probably more amenities in both areas than when you lived there.  [/quote]

No they’re aren’t.  Just fewer older homes and more McMansions.  The fundamentals haven’t changed one bit.  [/quote]

WTF are you talking about? Chesterbrook shopping plaza was completely revamped and 'downtown' Mclean got a new grocery store and a dozen restaurants.[/quote]

Lol yea I’ve seen the new Chesterbrook and sure it’s nicer than it was but it’s not exactly National Harbor or Navy Yard.  No one is moving to Chesterbrook for the shopping plaza. [/quote]

Nobody would say it's a destination place. :roll:   It's just a convenient suburban shopping plaza for people's daily needs , it has limited amenities, i[b]t's also not DT Mclean,[/b] it's a short drive away.

As far as National Harbor, Navy Yard and the Wharf  :lol:  why would you even compare?  These are not real towns either, they are dining/entertainment/promenade weekend destinations, and which is why they are also not desirable for everyday living IMHO.  Very few everyday routine living amenities, they feel disconnected and bubble-like and poorly served by Metro (incomparable to central parts of DC where you can walk from one line to another).  They are essentially weekend promenades off the HWy with atrociously priced parking.  Mclean DT has more of a town feel than any of these and serves communities nearby.[/quote]

So what is DT Mclean?  What are the cross streets? [/quote]
Not sure about that poster but to me it’s Chain Bridge and Old Dominion.[/quote]
