This is OP. Yes, people seem to have an inaccurate perception of McLean, at least from when I used to live there through my childhood until going off to college. No one I knew was "snooty" or a gazillionare although yes they were well-to-do professionals. Everyone we knew was down to earth and focused on their children and families. I will say, we did not live in one of those multimillion dollar properties so may be that is why.

According to the math I do, it seems we could reasonably afford a mortgage of 1 million dollar home. DH, however is very adamant that we live some place cheap and especially not with snobby people, which personally, I think is ridiculous. There are rich people all over NOVA and are not tied to one zip code. He says he does not want to live in Great Falls, McLean or Vienna.

You're fooling yourself.  Langley was always considered the rich kid's school.  And having had cousins that lived there, visiting from Burke/Springfield always felts like we were the poors headed into the other side of town.  And specifically in Langley Forest.

FFS, you have senators living in that neighborhood.  They sure as hell don't live out near the mixing bowl.  You could use some perspective.[/quote]
