[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised people think 22207 and 22101 are so different. I understand thinking that about 22201 and 22102, but not the part of Arlington and McLean that border each other. I honestly am not sure where one stops and the other starts. [/quote]

If you are that close I would chose McLean for the superior schools and the name.

Having a McLean address is much more sought after. I would rather have McLean after my families name on letters than arlington.

When you are in arlington you have to explain "North Arlington" "The Good school district" "Near McLean", with McLean everyone knows it's good.[/quote]

I live in McLean and I think this is very strange. [/quote]

There is great prestige with having a McLean address. It basically says "You Made it". Same with Potomac, Great Falls or Bethesda (to a lesser extent)[/quote]

Not so.  I know people who are from much nicer areas of the country, and they have to suck it up and say they live in VA now.  To friends at home, this means backwoods or worse. Think Deliverance. Again, this is in comparison to where they are from.  VA is definitely a step down.  I would not be too proud, nor assume that VA (including McLean and/or Arlington) is a step up for everyone.  I understand there are people "from everywhere", including flyover states, but this is not everyone.
