[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the Mclean bully. Stop picking on GP. Now let's compare McLean to Spring Valley/Kent/Wesley Heights/Foxhall area. Closer in density and housing style to Mclean (except for those god ugly 1960s apartments on Beverly). No comparison. Even Marvelous Market closed down.[/quote]

I live in McLean.  Spring Valley and Kent do not appeal to me at all; they feel more suburban than McLean.  I never see anyone outside in those neighborhoods.  They just look like a stage set for "Reservation Road." The Foxhall area has many garish new developments with McMansions that are larger than anything being built in McLean these days, as well as complexes like Foxhall Crescent that look like they belong in the Middle East.  No thanks.  I do like Wesley Heights, and would love to own a house there, but we prefer the public schools in VA to those in DC and did not want to audition our children for DC privates like a bunch of Jon-Benet Ramseys at their first beauty contests.   Talk about social climbing to the max.   You can have Marvelous Market - sadly, it was not very good by the time it closed.  We do still have a Balducci's, which is wonderful and walkable from many neighborhoods, as well as some other local restaurants that are tucked away and quite good.

At the end of the day, I don't really care if the OP stays put or moves here.  Her decision.  The amount of new construction in our neighborhood tells me that no amount of nasty posts on DCUM from those who are jealous, insecure or just prefer to live in denser neighborhoods is going to stop people from wanting to live here any time soon.
