Wow this part of Virginia has the richest people and the nicest homes in the whole region.
For this episode of dashboard tours, I wanted to take a tour of the richest neighborhood in Virginia. Northern Virginia and the DC suburbs are well known as a region for some of the wealthiest people in the country. So I took I495 south into McLean Virginia to see just how fancy this part of northern Virginia really are. It was a Thursday in late March at around 11 am.
McLean Virginia is home to one of the wealthiest communities in the nation, where households average more than $200,000 a year annually. That puts McLean and the surrounding Washington DC metro area in northern Virginia in the top 10 nationwide for income levels. The typical house here is well over a million bucks and going up all the time. Most of the people who live here work in government, as entrepreneurs, contractors, doctors and lawyers.
We’re going to just wind around this part of McLean and see what it looks like. I was impressed by the size and style of the homes I’d see and I think you will too. Here’s the rest of McLean Virginia, one of the wealthiest pockets in the United States.

Have lived in NoVA for over 40 years. Grew up in PWC and have lived in FFX Co for over 30 yrs. What makes every part of this area great is - regardless of neighborhood, house you live in, etc, everyone has jobs. The area is basically recession proof. I can remember growing up and hearing about the woes of my family in TX during weather events and recessions. We just don’t have major weather events and even when the government shuts down, everyone keeps shopping, eating out and if they ever have to pick up a new job, it’s easy. The diversity here is amazing and yes, the crime rate is very low in the area. No, we don’t all live in houses like your video shows but you don’t have to to have a great life here.

I can afford all of these homes, but i don't belong there. I'm urbanized for life, and now looking to become a duel citizen. My main goal in life is to maintain "freedom". I grew up in a blue collar household, so was never taught how to invest, and didn't understand any of the terminology. However, my parents unknowingly gave me generational wealth in the form of a personal computer without even knowing it. It kept me out of trouble, and i ended up creating various streams of income via trial/error. Now im so good at it i've obtained the freedom to not have to work. I can literally sit around all day, and expenses are so low, i have funds to invest and or play with recession or not. If more people thought outside the box they'd have this game of life figured out.

I honestly take some pride in being born and raised in Fairfax county. I moved out of the area in 2016 when my parents retired and wanted me to move with them. It was fun being able to grow up about 20-30 minutes outside of Washington DC. The area is also littered with history on top of being extremely wealthy. A couple of really wealthy areas around McLean is Clifton, Vienna, and Reston as well as some parts of Chantilly. Where I went to high school, we had a few students that would get late model or new luxury cars, but most people had normal late model commuter cars that were handed down from their parents.

That part of Virginia is really changing. Take Reston for instance. When it was first built it was a model city and people who lived there were rich. Something happened there because it sure isn't such a great place anymore. Another place is Annandale. I used to have an apartment there. Now you couldn't pay me to live there, and people are moving out in droves, same with Springfield. Vienna used to be horesy and it used to be fun riding around the Hunter Valley area. There was a riding ring there and beautiful trails. Now it's covered up with mcmansions and I doubt if there is a single horse in Vienna anymore. Alexandria used to be a crime-ridden dump, but got a major revival and is now a richey area with more and more huge buildings going up. Warrenton has always been very, very rich or very, very poor, no inbetween. Burke used to be such a nice place but is now covered up with ugly townhouses, and the same with Herndon. As for McLean I know that plenty of people from the Middle East live there and the primary people living there aren't government contractors. This seems to be a phenomenum going on around the country. Rich and beautiful towns from the 90s and before are turning into hoods and new, snooty towns are being built instead. It seems to be a vicious cycle.

Dolllar stores, fast food restaurants, strip malls, etc. You don't see that in McLean. McLean is boring really. Houses and trees in the woods. That's it. You saw that.

This is the neighborhood I lived in when I went to college in Washington DC. It is a quiet, clean and safe neighborhood where police cars are frequently patrolled. But the smell of bustling life is hard to feel. If I ever go back to Virginia, I'd like to live in a well-equipped condominium in the heart of the city with restaurants and grocers within walking distance. Fairfax is so good to live in, but now that I'm middle-aged, I'm starting to focus on the convenience of living.

Out there, houses are mostly custom built, but the age can range from being built in the 1940-50s to today. There are a handful of plantations still in the area as well as other homes from the 1800s, but a lot of them were torn or burned down over the years.

I think it says something when the residents are so wealthy, they can afford to be able to have it that way. And perhaps some of them are even custom homes. You go to any random typical middle class neighborhood in the country and what do you see? Many of the houses are of roughly both the same modest size and style. And chances are many were made by the same builder. Conclusion: these people had little other choice but to settle for cookie cutter type homes that probably mostly came from stock plans with few options for customization. XD

The homes are gorgeous but they're also massive. I see that many of the lawns are very anemic and could use some care. These houses are meant to impress other people and wonder how friendly they are with their neighbors. I cannot imagine how many rooms are probably empty. My husband and I raised two boys in a three bedroom one bath 1100 ft² home on Long Island. They are now grown men with their own families and we still live in the same house. My one son lives in Culpeper Virginia in a lovely town. As beautiful as these homes are I'd take mine over them. We have visited several towns surrounding Fairfax County and Loudoun County in Virginia and yes they are super wealthy. It's all a matter of what you can afford and your taste.

The reason why most of the grass looked anemic is likely due to all of the shade from the trees. My parents had a house where the builder tried to put sod down and it never quite took.

I lived in Clifton, VA for 30 years, a cute town kind of caught in a timewarp, its another very affluent part of Fairfax County like McClean and Great Falls, I'm now in Loudoun County, also very wealthy like Fairfax, but more rural, its horse and wine country.

So I just moved to about 40 mins away in Manassas. Definitely some nice houses still, but pretty affordable compared to the rest of NOVA. Mclean reminds me of parts of the north shore of Nassau County, NY. My grandparents sold their "Normal" 2 story house about 15 years ago that my father grew up in for almost $1M. Poor "normal" houses among the McMansions... feel bad to be one of the norms with the constant reminder of the 1% everywhere you look. I guess there's no actual "town" and not so much history as the rest of NOVA.

It’s fun driving through Great Falls! The homes are gigantic and it’s peaceful. But, it’s definitely too rich for my blood. I live in an 1,100 square foot townhouse, and I hate cleaning that much space. Can’t imagine what it takes to keep those homes clean and maintained.

There is McLean and then there is Great Falls, which I believe is usually defined as the part of Fairfax next to McLean on the other side of the Beltway. It also is full of really nice big houses on big lots under really big trees. The Old Georgetown Pike is an interesting ride to see them (when it's not Rush Hour, when it's a parking lot). Virginia's (and the US's) most well off county is actually Loudoun just to the West of Fairfax. Fairfax I believe is only a lowly 3rd place on the US wealthiest counties list. And Arlington County, just to the East of Fairfax is a bit older, so not as big homes, but it's also in the top 10 in the US. Plus Montgomery County MD just x the Potomac from Fairfax (and Loudoun) is also in the top 10. Its the true Lake Woebegon. Everyone is above average to the West of DC.

When I first moved to The National Capital Region, I would commute from Herndon to Alexandria every day frequently driving the George Washington Parkway. One morning after I passed Chain Bridge Road I looked over at the car next to me and I saw Edward Kennedy driving the car next to me. Teddy lived in McLean at the "Kennedy Compound" there. At that time I realized I had arrived in Washington...

When I tried to get Senior/Disabled housing here in "affluent Fairfax County", I was told that the waiting list was four years, and also closed! I lucked into a condo at Bailey's Crossroads.

Northern Virginia is a company town and that company is US government. Even the service workers (secretaries, janitors, etc.) are extremely well paid when compared to private sector compadres. (especially when benefits like healthcare and retirement are added in). Kind of a false economy.
