[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouse Village...good luck getting a house there though...they rarely go up for sale[/quote]

Avoid Shouse Village. Our agent said the word-on-the-street is that many homes in Shouse Village have structural issues.[/quote]

Your agent was probably hoping to upsell you on a McMansion. :) My sister lives there and the homes there are no different than the older homes in McLean. They were built in the early 70s and their condition varies based on how well they've been taken care of over the years. But that is the sort of thing you would work through with a home inspector.  The neighborhood has a pool, sidewalks (a rarity), no thru traffic, beautiful landscaping, and a killer pyramid (Colvin Run/Longfellow/McLean) so at that price point you would be hard pressed to do much better.[/quote]

We considered Shouse Village when we were looking, but it's a school attendance island -- look at the boundary maps. The bus ride to Longfellow was long, and other less desirable schools were nearer geographically. We were worried about possible redistricting away from Longfellow/McLean so shied away from it.[/quote]
