[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What age range are we talking?

Early to mid 20s: 
VA- Clarendon, Ballston
DC - Adams Morgan, Navy Yard, Union Market, Mount Vernon

Late 20's to early 30's: 
VA - Arlington, Alexandria 
DC - Dupont, Logan, Kalorama, Capitol Hill[/quote]
May I ask the VA residents why living in McLean isn't an option?

Do young people not live there?  Is it not a walkable/lively neighborhood?  I hate communting so much that I'd try rent for a bit in McLean first then just dip into DC,etc. on nights and weekends.   [/quote]

This is the most hilarious thing I’ve read on this forum.

No, young people don’t want to live in McLean. No, it is not walkable and lively. It is great if you are 40, married and wealthy, but not a hotbed of young professionals.[/quote]

Exactly, young people would not want to live in McLean, it is not for them, it is for older people (mid 30s onwards) with a family.

McLean is not walkable in the slightest and there are very few things to do there in terms of bars, restaurants, clubs and shopping. For a young person either NW DC or Clarendon/Ballston is the logical way to go. [/quote]
The Boro by the Greensboro metro in Tyson’s is maybe 1/3 complete, but, when complete, it may well be a more appealing place to live than Ballston.  Presently, about 90% of the luxury apartments are occupied by tenants under the age of 35.  And about 75% are 30 or younger. When complete, this single development will have approximately 10% of all the total retail found everywhere on the orange line between Rosslyn and Ballston.  I can’t imagine it will ever have an evening or bar scene anything remotely like Clarendon though, because, as a consequence of being surrounded by commercial buildings with tech companies, I think they are targettng is a more affluent and slightly older (mid 20s to early 30s) demographic.[/quote]
