[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d keep my eyes open for properties in the “West McLean” neighborhood of McLean north of Chain Bridge Road and south of Dolley Madison (that is the historic name of the neighborhood, but it’s just west of the center of McLean and not in western McLean out towards Great Falls).  There are occasionally some newish homes with at least four bedrooms on smaller lots that go on the market for around $1.25M and it’s walkable to coffee shops and some other stores in McLean without having to cross a major road.  That will also get you into the McLean schools. [/quote]

Thank you for the suggestion, will look into it, sounds like it's fairly close to stuff to walk to, but I wonder if anyone actually walks in DT Mclean. Will have to visit more and drive around.  Looking at walkability map someone posted here, DT Mclean seems like a pretty walkable pocket, same as walkable parts of Arlington, but the feel could be different, so need to see for myself in more detail, we haven't been there enough.  I also realize that even if something isn't entirely pleasant to walk around and people still drive and nobody walks, it's still worth it to have this as an option as opposed to be walking distance to nothing.  I am just trying to avoid certain situations, like what my close friends have in the suburbs of another metro area, where their visiting relatives are trapped in the house because there is nothing around and no sidewalks. Uber is also expensive if you have to take it frequently and the area doesn't have abundance of uber drivers at any hour of the day.  We are going to have to make sacrifices.[/quote]
