[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is OP. Yes, people seem to have an inaccurate perception of McLean, at least from when I used to live there through my childhood until going off to college. No one I knew was "snooty" or a gazillionare although yes they were well-to-do professionals. Everyone we knew was down to earth and focused on their children and families. I will say, we did not live in one of those multimillion dollar properties so may be that is why.

According to the math I do, it seems we could reasonably afford a mortgage of 1 million dollar home. DH, however is very adamant that we live some place cheap and especially not with snobby people, which personally, I think is ridiculous. There are rich people all over NOVA and are not tied to one zip code. He says he does not want to live in Great Falls, McLean or Vienna.[/quote]

Both of you seem to have some childhood/high school hang ups and could do with some maturing before you make the biggest purchase of your life. I'd focus a lot less on your childhood memories and a lot more on an actual house and area that have the qualities that are most important to you.  Good luck, your husband sounds like a major PITA.[/quote]
