[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original question was why Mclean, besides the schools: 1. Central location between job centers, DC, Arlington, Tysons. 2. Easy access to travel hubs, IAD/DCA. 3. Lots of community amenities - libraries, parks/playgrounds, Alden center for kids. 4. Easy to get to the main shopping area, which has all of the basics you need - regular/fancy grocery, variety of restaurants (not super high-end, but for day-to-day), hardware, etc. Basically less than 10 minutes from any part of town, often much less. 5. Larger yards/more green space than much of Arlington (not all). 6. Lots of sports options for kids - good soccer, baseball, etc., leagues. 7. Safe, removed from lower-income areas, more so than most of DC/Arlington Those are a few reasons. [/quote] Good list - added a few more items. 1.

Safe, removed from lower-income areas, more so than most of DC/Arlington. 8. Higher concentration of high-end single-family houses than anywhere else in region. 9. Relatively uncongested compared to other suburban areas such as Vienna. 10. Proximity to Metro stations (West Falls Church, McLean stations). [/quote]
