MCLEAN LUXURY REAL ESTATE
There are few, if any, places in the Washington Metro area with a greater concentration of luxury homes than McLean, Virginia. Estates in this affluent Fairfax County community have recently listed as high as $40 million. While that might be a bit of an outlier, it’s quite common to find listings in the $5,000,000 to $20,000,000 million range. You’ll discover a wide range of styles as well, from traditional to very modern. Location is also key, bordered by the Potomac River across from Washington, DC, and stretching west to the rapidly evolving Tysons with its new luxury condo towers and upscale shopping malls.
More About McLean, VA
McLean takes its name from John McLean, a businessman who helped build the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad in the early 1900s. He was also owner and publisher of the Washington Post. The community was founded in 1910 and has enjoyed a leisurely development over time. That has changed in recent years, with Forbes recently describing McLean has the fastest growing place in the Commonwealth of Virginia. That description, however, is largely based on activity in West McLean near the Capital Beltway, where it joins with Tysons. Here you’ll find numerous new shops, restaurants, and upscale mixed-use developments like The Boro. Monarch, and Verse are among the new luxury condos in this area.
Those exploring the market for luxury single-family homes in the area will often turn their attention to the north and northeastern parts of McLean, as well as areas to the northwest. Historic properties play an important role in the neighborhood’s development, but the thirst for ever larger and more luxurious dwellings has led to a substantial number of new custom construction, often guided by some of the east coast’s top architects. A few of the notable home styles in the area include Georgian, Mediterranean, French Normandy, English Country, Tudor, and Modernist.
A town center near the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Chain Bridge Road is home to a number of popular restaurants and shops. You’ll find lots of outdoor activity in McLean with parks, nature preserves, hiking trails, tennis courts, swim clubs, farmers’ markets, and more. It’s simply one of the best places to live in the Washington area.
