[quote=Anonymous][quote=bainbridge1]OP here--it's funny you mention McLean. I did initially consider McLean because I went to little Langley and Langley High School.  But after living in a neighborhood with so much socioeconomic diversity, I might feel like a fish out of water.  Also, I am the type of person who says hi to pretty much every person I walk past in Bed Stuy.  I feel like I would get some strange looks if I pulled that in McLean. But perhaps I am generalizing--if I am wrong, please correct me. Thanks again! [/quote]
The people saying that McLean doesn’t have diversity don’t know McLean. McLean HS is 51% white. While it’s true that the population of Black students is low, it’s not clear to me that is the only diversity you value.

If you are looking for a community that is more Black and more Jewish, Montgomery County is more likely a good fit. I would particularly look into the BCC cluster.

In terms of chatty communities, DC and all the suburbs are not really like this. People will generally nod or give a weak hi passing neighbors on the street. Some neighbors that you like you will stop and chat. But it’s different than NY, so I’m not sure how long you’ve been away. People don’t really talk with strangers here like they do in NY.

Someone mentioned Takoma Park, but I don’t find it particularly friendlier than anywhere else, except that the historic district falls prey to a lot if gossipy behavior from a small number of annoying people.

I don’t find it a community that I particularly like. [/quote]
