[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to the area.  Close-in bethesda, rock creek forest, glen echo, arlington.  What are the differences in character/vibe?  We are a family with 2 under 2 so family-friendliness is important.  Unlikely to afford mclean or chevy chase.  Elementary schools are a consideration but don't really care about MS or HS, not looking for our forever home.  Work commutes not a consideration.[/quote]FYI, northern Arlington  more expensive than southern McLean and has been for decades.

On a per square foot basis, as land costs more as you get closer to DC.

No one uses the term "southern McLean" IRL, but if you look at the median home sales over the past 12 months in the areas assigned to the three elementary schools that primarily serve areas in McLean south of 123 (Sherman, Kent Gardens, and Chesterbrook ES), it's $1.58 million, compared to $1.21 million in the Yorktown HS district in North Arlington.

So the "same house" might cost more in North Arlington, but the "typical house" in "southern McLean" costs more. [/quote]
