It’s not McLean. It’s a bad elementary in falls church. I’m sick of these style houses - they will age terribly



Also too close to Leesburg Pike and the Beltway

You can get a nice house in McLean at that price point. Doesn’t make sense to buy in summit hills unless you don’t have kids.


I'm the pp. we were not priced out of McLean but did not want to buy there because we value socioeconomic and racial diversity.

Marshall sucks. Don’t read into the websites.

Trust me I went there.


When did you graduate? I teach there and Marshall has changed a lot over the years. It’s not what it used to be.

That modern farmhouse look is a pox upon the land. So glad we own something prettier.

McFarmhouse


Ha. I live in Pimmit. I love the fact we have no HOA and can build whatever we'd like and I love the mix of various styles we have Even the original shacks have their own charm. But this style of house is just fugly.

This is one of those times dcum is dead wrong. My kid went to westgate, lemon road for aap, now at Kilmer. They are thriving. I couldn't afford that house just listed, so I'm glad we got in when we did. Feel free to hate. Those of us here are happy.
