[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some really odd people who eventually flame any thread about McL.  The last poster is particularly unstable.[/quote]

You must be right.  Anyone who does not agree with you is "unstable".  Your poor spouse.

OP, in the upper brackets, $2m-$4m, there are particularly nice people, nicer than you would expect, if you have anything in common with them.  If not, then you don't, which is fine.  You need to be where you fit in.

In the $1.2m-$1.4m range, you could do well, provided all of the houses were built at the same time.  You do not want to be "the nice house", or "the new house", this is true anywhere, of course.  There is resentment and bitterness anywhere, but could be exacerbated when surrounded by "better", real or perceived.

McLean, as anywhere (but perhaps more so) has its share of revisionists and poseurs, so be mindful, and you will be fine.

Notice I say "anywhere" and not "everywhere".   :wink:  GL. May you land a neighbor who is "stable".   :D

Your posts really are very peculiar.  Arlington, Falls Church and McLean all have many neighborhoods that are a mix of old and new homes.  Most people who live there get along fine. If you rule out large swaths of NoVa based on some overblown fear that a long-time resident in an older home (whose property, by the way, will have greatly appreciated) will resent you, you are unnecessarily limiting your options in some very nice areas that are short commutes to DC and have excellent schools.

The people in the older houses are NOT friendly. They are resentful.[/quote]

Why does everyone know this except the one obsessed poster?  [/quote]
