[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not aure why everyone is talking about Falls Church City when OP explained the house is in the McLean HS zone so its in (one of) the Falls Church area of Fairfax.

McLean is old and boring plus you will have to pay extra for the McLean tax district and you don’t get anything from that other than an obnoxious old citizens group (MCA) and a discount on classes at the MCC.[/quote]

The McLean tax district doesn't fund the McLean Citizens Association (MCA).  The MCA is funded through membership dues.  The MCA can be obnoxious, but the membership is about 550 area residents out of roughly 50,000 in McLean, and there are really only about two dozen active members, who are easily ignored when they get too NIMBY.

The tax district funds the McLean Community Center (discounts on classes, performances, etc.) and the Old Firehouse Center (tends to be an after-school hang-out spot for tweens).  It's not a big surcharge per resident.

There's not a big difference in feel between McLean south of Route 123 and the parts of Falls Church in Fairfax County zoned to McLean HS.  McLean north of Route 123 tends to be more expensive with bigger lots. [/quote]

I didn’t say the tax funds the mca but you can’t be a member of the mca unless you live in the McLean tax district.[/quote]
