[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mclean has always been a very desirable area being close to DC and mostly single family.  Vienna has a better town center feel in my opinion however the traffic is a little worse.  Vienna was rated among the top 5 towns having the largest gain in real estate values during this past recession.  http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/americas-best-and-worst-housing-markets-2011.html
Another town not mentioned is Falls Church City which is also very cute and not too far away.  They have their own highly rated school system.  The homes west of Tysons around Colvin Run such as in Shouse Village are also very nice and feed into McLean district schools even though most homes have a Vienna address.[/quote]

Agree with this, other than the observation about the traffic.  The traffic in Vienna along Maple Avenue/Route 123 can be a lot worse than the traffic in McLean, particularly on the evenings and weekends.  The retail areas in McLean are a bit more dispersed, and the traffic is lighter.

To be clear, Vienna and McLean, unlike the City of Falls Church, do not have their own school systems.  Children living in both places attend Fairfax County schools.  You have to check the specific address to find out the school assignment.  The only easy rule of thumb that holds true is that students who live in the Town of Vienna are assigned to Madison HS.  You could live in a house with a Vienna address and possibly attend middle or high schools in Falls Church, McLean, Reston or Vienna, or live in a house with a McLean address and possibly attend middle or high schools in Falls Church, McLean or Vienna.  Students who live in the Shouse Village neighborhood in Vienna attend an elementary school in Vienna, a middle school in Falls Church and a high school in McLean. [/quote]
