I realize her lips always look very dry.

She did a great job!

It may lack the big prestigious neighborhoods and celebrities, but trust me it is nicer than either Arlington or Great Falls and pretty much on par with the more traditional fancy-pants McLean neighborhoods.

Can’t be 100% sure, but the poster who periodically tries to revive the Upper McLean/Lower McLean thing always comes across as some old gal who thought moving to a big house in Great Falls or some part of McLean outside the Beltway in the 80s meant they’d really struck gold. It must bother her to no end when people spurn that area now for closer-in parts of McLean, Arlington, or Falls Church.

The old pecking order really is meaningless now, though it’s still fair to say someone is going to be more likely to spend over $3.0 M on a single-family home in Great Falls or McLean than Arlington or Falls Church. But the percentage of DCUM posters who actually fall in that category has got to be fairly small.

FP booster.

Franklin park is the absolute best of all worlds, larger lots and a great falls experience but close to dc

I’d take a big GF lot over this. If I had to live in McLean, I wouldn’t want to be in Lower McLean. I’d prefer something fancier. This is basically Arlington.

Much of Arlington is more expensive than Great Falls now. This part of McLean commands high prices because it’s close to DC, but has larger lots than are typical in Arlington.

And no one uses the term “Lower McLean” IRL.

Yes, but no one chooses Arlington over McLean. Get out of here. Great Falls, fine, but even these parts of McLean are nicer than Arlington.

LOL. Of course they do.

Some of us don’t care about Saudi princes.
