[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess these houses are a bit further west but I'd encourage anyone thinking of buying in McLean on the north side of Dolley Madison to experience just how terrible traffic is now near the Georgetown Pike/Balls Hill/495 intersection. It's a huge construction project and the traffic slows to a halt. If you had to pick your kid up at Cooper MS you may need to tack on an extra 20-30 minutes just to navigate the final mile closest to the school. The areas on the other side of Dolley Madison are much easier to navigate (and closer to DC and Metro as well). [/quote] That should not be the only reason to not buy in western McLean. Majority of the higher end neighborhoods are closer to 495, larger lots, and Langley zoning give a premium. [/quote] It's the proximity to 495 near Georgetown Pike that has turned that area into a traffic nightmare at all hours of the day right now. At some point it will be better but it's been and will continue to be a mess for quite a while. When your traffic "cheat" is to head back into Tysons to get onto 495, you know it's an area to avoid if you can. [/quote]
