[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean is where the wealthy and well-connected go to live if they desire a slightly more bucolic and small-town feel than DC or Bethesda/CC offer.[/quote]

McLean is suburban, not bucolic.  Actually, most of Mclean under $1.75 or so is pretty blah ... lots of unoriginal new builds planted in transitional neighborhoods or cookie cutter HOA dominated communities that reek of the 70s and 80s.  Above $2mm, you'll find some really great places and great neighborhoods (e.g., Franklin Park) but I find amusing how many wannabes insist on the McLean postal address but without the means to get the high-end McLean house as if they get some kind of status from it.[/quote]

Hmm, you both seem to have missed OP's preference for "down to earth" -- I don't think she ever said she was looking for status, nor have most PPs focused on that.  As another PP noted, many people are not trying to buy status so much as good schools, a safe neighborhood, a decent house (as most people would see it) and a nice community.  It's ridiculous to imply they are "wannabes" at $1-$1.5million -- many of us in this price range are very happy, thank you very much, many with the wealth for second homes, nice vacations, etc., and in many cases higher-end homes, but choose not to spend their money that way.[/quote]
