[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lived in all three! I prefer Vienna, Arlington, McLean, in that order, but would go with whatever commute would be best, so likely Arlington. There aren't huge differences among them, so go with the one that will make your life easier. [/quote]

The schools in McLean are not facing the capacity issues that will be such a major challenge for Arlington in the coming years.  As others have noted, there's a need for a fourth high school in APS and no clear indication if and  when APS will get around to finding a site, raising the funds, and building the school.  Live in McLean and you're pretty much assured of Langley, McLean or Marshall having space for your kid  (and there are more admits to TJ as well than from APS).  [/quote]

PP here. I just really disliked McLean. [/quote]

I have heard this often.  Very often. [/quote]

PP here. Some people love it. Almost everyone there thought that we were crazy when we moved out of McLean. But it just wasn't for me. Gratefully, it is for other people and our house sold quickly. [/quote]

If we had been neighbors, and you'd told me you were moving from McLean to Vienna, I would have only said good things to you in person about Vienna.

On the other hand, knowing what I do about the relative ease of commuting, and the lack of congestion running errands in McLean compared to Vienna, I know I'd never move back there so long as either my spouse or I needed to commute to DC or somewhere further away than Tysons (which right now we both do regularly).  [/quote]

Well, you are a better person than our old neighbor who asked if we were having money problems! He he. Never change McLean![/quote]

You should have thanked him for his concern and set up a "Go Fund Me" page. [/quote]
