[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's look at most expensive places per sq.ft and not including exclusive communities, here we are talking about suburbs, which in DC area is usually a mix of opulent mansions and fixer upper dated homes and everything in between.

Let's also say, if you had 2 mil to spend on a house and wanted to live in a suburb, where would you go?[/quote]

I, as a NoVA person, personally would go to Arlington or McLean.  [/quote]

I would never spend $2 million in Arlington.  Why would you want to spend the top of the range for that market? I would definitely buy in McLean, where $2 million houses are not an anomaly.  [/quote]

Because my DH works downtown and his (and, by extension, our) quality of life depends upon his commute, so I want his commute to be as short as possible. Also, we all like frequenting events downtown, so I personally would like to be as close as possible to downtown, while still actually being in VA.  I myself work in Tysons so Arlingon or McLean would work well for that.  I also prefer walkable communities and, having grown up in McLean (and my parents still live there), I know it is, at best, minimally walkable.[/quote]

Fair enough, but there are parts of McLean as convenient to dc as Arlington.  Plus our area of McLean is totally walkable (and we moved from a great north Arlington neighborhood that had zero walkability).  That said if I wanted to be closer to downtown than McLean, I'd skip Arlington and spend my $2 million in Kent or palisades or spring valley.[/quote]
