There are more million dollar sales in the Langley and McLean HS districts than in all of Arlington, or in the rest of Fairfax County combined. It's families with kids, not empty nesters or childless couples, buying these homes.

Humble brag

Don't forget the saudi oil tycoons

It's a fact. And enrollment at some of the McLean schools is the highest now it's been at any point in the last 15 years. Maybe we should start new threads about it every day to give the PH boosters a breather.

So guess they are over capacity? Sounds bad.

OP here. Wow this post has gone quite off topic. Thanks all. I think I now know where this neighborhood is, sort of.

21:01 - where were you 20 years ago?

For sh*ts and giggles, McLean Family Restaurant is always a hoot. God help us.

I always notice that in the giant parking lot that the mclean population seems to be aging , maybe cause the younger people can't afford it or don't see the value?

20:58 - case in point. PC capital of the world

And believe me, no SAHM in McLean that SHOULD be on meds IS on meds. They would carry pharma single handedly!

PP here. Forgot to mention. Downtown McLean is useless because the old timers and "proud to be raised in a barns" are against change. So in the last 20 or so years, while the demographics have done a 180 degree change, we "certainly don't need to *change* anything". Yeah, right. And how are we helping anything that way? Sidewalks anyone? Ew.

OMFG. The people are unbearable, unless you live in McLean and not Langley, of course. I know its a big point of contention, rightfully so.

Langley people who grew up in the sh* t shacks have nothing to be pretentious about, that is for sure. At least the McLean side is down to earth and centered in reality. The former is trying to capitalize on the assumption that everyone (not really) wants to live next to their sorry, whiny, lake woe-be-gone a**es. No thank you.

To "love it here" insinuates you haven't seen ugh of the real world.

Signed, BTDT

P.S. PH is off Magarity. Would live there in a minute if I could. Though some that have made poor choices are against it for some arbitrary reason.

In fact, this board has been the best publicity for PH yet, as no one heard about it just ten years ago! BOY does that p*ss some people off

I love it here.

So it'ssandwiched between downtown McLean and Tysons Corner (adjacent to them).

And the backside is adjacent to the beginning of Falls Church.

Wait, McLean has a downtown? Serious question. Us that kind of like downtown Potomac (Potomac Village)?

McLean does have a downtown. It isn't well planned, but it is several blocks wide and several blocks long. More banks than anything else, but it has three grocery stores, a used to be good until it was sold children's toy store, a dozen (?) restaurants that are okay (none really great), a hotel, ABC store, a few gas stations, for some reason 3 7-11s, a few doctor's offices, a fantastic old fashioned hardware store, several dry cleaners, a CVS, a horrible chain bookstore, Total Wine.......

Aaah. I totally know what downtown McLean is now. All you had to say was "where Total Wine is." Yeah, it's a tad more substantial than Potomac Village, but not by much. But Total Wine makes me almost want to defect to VA. Almost.
