[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would buy in MoCo if it was close to my work, and[b] if money was no object I think Bethesda is a much nicer looking area than McLean.[/b]  The only people I know who have bought in MoCo are locals who grew up there and are just used to the area or want to be close to relatives for child care purposes.  From an urban planning perspective, I think MoCo developed much better than the sprawl in Northern VA.

If I was wagering, I'd say that FFX will remain pretty stable over the next 20 years but MoCo will slowly but surely deteriorate into a land of major income inequality, declining older suburbs (places like Gaithersburg and Germantown), and deteriorating schools.  Taxes are high and the low income majority-minority areas keep growing.[/quote]

If money is a consideration, you are more likely to look at Bethesda because you can't afford McLean.

Median SFH sales prices 2019:

McLean/22102:     $1,240,000
McLean/22101:     $1,150,000
Bethesda/20816:  $1,050,000
Bethesda/20817:     $945,000
Bethesda/20815:     $923,000[/quote]
