[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. We moved to McLean 5 years when our HHI was $350K and the home we bought was $1.1M.  The house is now worth around $1.5M based on comps on our street, so its been a good investment like many homes in Northern Virginia.  Based on our personal experience there are a number of people in the area that work for the CIA, State Department, some lawyers, doctors, and the occasional lobbyist - but also a good number of people that work for Fed Gov agencies, consultants, accountants, and such.

Primary reasons we moved were: 1) the schools as we have two ES age children, 2) a larger house, and 3) a relatively short commute to work downtown.  We have no regrets.

We considered homes in Falls Church, Vienna and we have friends and family that live in both.  Each area has its own pros/cons but it really boils down to personal preferences/priorities, we think they are all great options.  We've made a lot of great friends in our neighborhood, families from our sons baseball team, girl scouts, the pool/swim team. The HHI among our group of friends definitely ranges from probably $300K to $1M, though I think only a few of them are north of $600K.

We all enjoy each others company and get together often.  I think you have to know yourself, and decide if it will really bother YOU to be around some people that make more.  But again, in our experience, their HHI doesn't dictate what type of people they are.
