Pimmit Hills is not in McLean. It's in the 22043 zip code in Falls Church.

Nice places but car dependent. The over one million previously owned market is not as hot as the under a million.

http://www.wfp.com/propertySearch/prop.asp?mlsid=FX8020548 --> This is in the Ridings of McLean, which is a beautiful neighborhood (e.g., cherry blossom trees lining the streets). The neighborhood is slightly McMansion-y, but bright and well-manicured.

http://www.wfp.com/propertySearch/prop.asp?mlsid=FX8047459 --> Timberly South is another beautiful, well-manicured subdivision. It is well established in McLean, so the houses have a lot of character.

http://www.wfp.com/propertySearch/prop.asp?mlsid=FX8078584 --> This is in McLean Hamlet, one of the largest subdivisions in McLean. Most of the houses are medium-sized old colonials and split-levels, but the premium on the price is due to the location and amenities of the neighborhood, which include a pool and tennis club exclusive to the Hamlet and walking proximity to Spring Hill ES. $1.275 is one of the highest prices I've seen in the Hamlet, which must mean that it's nicely and recently renovated. Although the houses aren't spectacular, if you're looking for a family and kid-oriented neighborhood, the Hamlet is one of the best in McLean. It is where other McLean families drop off their kids to go trick or treating.

http://www.wfp.com/propertySearch/prop.asp?mlsid=FX8134742 --> I drove by this house the other day and I would take it off of your list. It is on a very busy road that gets clogged with rush hour traffic. The front is also quirky and a bit ugly, IMO.



Thank you very much!!

I think in general there are some loan limits and things that change once the property is a certain amount that causes the drop off in interest.

The garden apartment complexes off Magarity Road in 22102 are convenient, but not particularly nice.

Any on busy roads or isolated houses without a real neighborhood.

McLean and Great Falls have a large number of upper-bracket homes and houses over $1M often take more time to sell. There are more upper-bracket sales in 22101 and 22102 than they'll be in the Arlington zip codes, but also more houses that sit for longer periods. It's been that way for a long time.

They all seem like nice homes in pleasant, but car-dependent, neighborhoods outside the Beltway. The house on Eaton is particularly far out, almost in Great Falls, and I wouldn't live on Lewinsville Road, which gets a lot of traffic, but otherwise they are all pretty nice. The house on Falstaff is in McLean Hamlet, which is a nice neighborhood with its own community pool.

prices have gotten a bit too high very quickly, we are in the slow season and interest rates are spooking people. I think the magical number is that above 1 million and the property sits much longer.

I Know about 6 months a go the FALSTAFF property would have sold for around 8-900k and now it is over 1.2 million.
