[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if the OP is new here, but in the DMV, there are four or five prestigious places to live. Kalorama will always be the top,[b] but McLean on the VA side and Bethesda on the MD side will always be 2(a) and 2(b).[/b] Potomac, Georgetown, Great Falls and Cap Hill rounding it out closely thereafter. [b]This has been the DMV for at least the last 10-15 years[/b], if not longer. Whether it should be this way can be debated, but these locations will always draw the higher income and more prestigious of our community, with obvious exceptions.[/quote] No. Maybe in the last 10-15 years, people in McLean think it is prestigious but it has not been among the prestigious places in the area. The prestigious areas have been Kalorama, Georgetown, Chevy Chase MD, Potomac, Bethesda and possible Great Falls (more wealthy than prestigious). Now McLean is wealthy but not quite as prestigious as the others (except maybe for Great Falls) and Georgetown is not prestigious anymore.[/quote] This is not quite right. First the places in the city do not count. Can't compare at all. McLean has been both wealthy and prestigious since the late 1980s. But it depends on what you mean by prestigious. To me it means lots of rich people want to live there. Nothing more nothing less. [/quote]
