[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear god, why does every single Vienna-related post turn into a discussion about Maple Ave traffic?

How about the insanity of a $3million house in a neighborhood geared toward families? In what reality could a young family afford this type of house? We live in Vienna, and I've been shocked by the rise in $2.5 million houses (all of which continue to sit on the market)....[/quote]

Because whenever someone mentions the traffic, even in passing, some Vienna resident will come on here and claim Vienna residents know how to avoid it, which is BS.

Just because a neighborhood is geared towards families doesn't mean it's not increasingly geared towards wealthy ones.  Relatively little of Vienna is as walkable as some in Vienna like to claim, but if you're just a few blocks from Church and Maple a new single-family house will cost a lot.  If you live somewhere off Ware or Tapawingo a good bit further from Maple, it won't cost as much, especially if you're zoned to Marshall Road or Cunningham Park ES, as opposed to Louise Archer, Wolftrap, or Vienna ES.

Well, duh, Vienna is huge and there is housing in all ranges.  There are going to be pricey new homes (3 mil is hardly eye popping for DC metro in general for new construction) and there are going to be more affordable homes and older homes and tear downs and everything in between.

Why I asked the OP to provide this "comparable example" of Mclean property, which is literally in her title.   Because all I said above about Vienna also applies to Mclean (houses in diff price ranges, some parts being more premium than others, etc)[/quote]
