[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, there are no parts of McLean that are too far out. Everything is right on the beltway. Technically, the nicest parts of McLean are outside the beltway. [/quote]

Being near the Beltway isn't especially relevant if you're trying to get into DC. The appreciation in inside-the-Beltway McLean, as in North Arlington, has been much greater than in outside-the-Beltway McLean and Great Falls over the past 10-15 years. Outside-the-Beltway McLean still has the most expensive single-family homes, but the gap has been narrowing. The influx of Loudoun commuters on Fairfax roads has made GF and outside-the-Beltway McLean less appealing to a lot of people, but that's compensated for by some degree by the emergence of the Tysons-Dulles corridor  as a major employment center in its own right.[/quote]

Appreciation doesn't mean what I think you think it means. North Arlington and the cheaper parts of McLean (22101) have certainly become more expensive over the last few years, but they'll never be the same as those mansions up in 22102. I bought in the Chesterbrook part of McLean and I love it, but I don't delude myself that my house will be worth millions one day just because I'm inside the beltway. [/quote]
