I'd prefer McLean, particularly Langley school district which gives you a better commute but still decent lot sizes. That being said, this is a bit of an overstatement. GF still has its place in the luxury market.

I think Mclean holds it value no matter what - Tysons, DC, Reston all easy commutes.  [/quote]

Read slowly, maybe a few times:  It depends where you work.  Not everyone works where you want them to work.  Great Falls is an easy commute for most people.  If you don't like other people's choices, you don't have to move there.  Problem solved.  [/quote]

You are being overly defensive.  For some people, great falls is a great commute.  Many, many people work in places like DC, Rosslyn, Bethesda, Tyson's, etc.  There are other residential locations far more accessible to those jobs centers, and given traffic in this area that definitely impacts pricing.

Same thing is happening in MD with a runup in prices in Brookmont, Glen Echo, Kensington, downtown Silver Spring at the expense of areas farther out, such as Potomac, that were formerly thought of as nicer / better.

Who knows if the trend will continue, but it is a real, obvious trend.[/quote]

Great Falls does tend to fluctuate very slightly, in comparison to other (comparable) areas.  But what you get for the money can't be beat, and this is important to many people. The slight fluctuations are negligible, in context. [/quote]

What you can get in Great Falls for 1.2M versus inside the Beltway is amazing.  [/quote]

True, but what you get in McLean inside the Beltway for 1.2M versus outside the Beltway in McLean is amazing. Those McLean neighborhoods north of 123 but before Great Falls are ridiculously expensive. Very nice, but very expensive. Great Falls is a good less expensive alternative with a similarly sized house.[/quote]
