[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, the nicest parts of McLean aren't even the parts close inside the beltway. I think there is a middle ground with a sweet spot in the parts of McLean that are north of 123 and the parts of Great Falls that are closer in and border McLean.

If by nicest you mean biggest and less expensive, maybe, but I think there is pretty fair consensus that Langley Farms (Waverly, Dogwood, Langley Lane etc), Turkey Run and Ballantrae Lane area are the nicest parts of McLean, albeit at a $4 mm entry point...[/quote]

Those are all decent for new money. Old money live in upper McLean.[/quote]

Where do you come up with an obscure term like "upper McLean," much less the nonsense that "old money" lives there?  We aren't on the Main Line here, Dorothy.[/quote]

Actually, the old McLean people I know (2nd+ generation) might have been left a small, old house by their parents, if that.  But the grandparents do pay for private school, so that is a nice perk.  McLean was not traditionally as monied as other places/areas (of the U.S.) you would think of as old money.  There is a ton of new money in McLean.  Traditionally, there is the Langley side of 123, and the McLean HS side of 123.  Just because people grew up in Langley (or McLean) does not mean they are from money.  [/quote]
