mclean: Mclean, Virginia - Langley Forest - 03/27/11 03:40 PM
Langley Forest is a small community off Georgetown Pike inside the beltway.  The lots in Langley forest range mostly from .5 acres to 2/3 acreas.  Many people have sold their homes to builders and the builders have built some very large new homes in that area.  Different builds, different styles, but overall very nice homes and beautiful lots. 
Builders over there include Artisan, ANV, Monarch, and many more custom builders.  There are some great opportunities for homes in Langley Forest.  Most lots have beautiful trees and nice serene and private lots.

mclean: Mclean Virginia: Small Town in the Beltway - 03/27/11 03:25 PM
Mclean Virginia is like a small town community nestled within the city.  Most of the restaurants are family type restaurants with a lot of history.  The Mclean Community Center has arts, shows, and many activities for the community.  There are many smaller subdivisions within the community such as Dominion Gardens, Langley Forest, Timberley, Mclean Hamlet, and many more.  The communities besides the newer ones are not so clearly recognizable.  They all kind of blend together for the most part but the Mclean community is very nice, location is superb and within about 30 minutes of all major areas around the Beltway.

mclean: Mclean Investment Properties - 02/07/11 03:56 AM
There are a lot of properties in Mclean that are at least 40+ years old.  Lots of builders know this and are buying them up before they hit the market or right when they hit the market.  They then can build large homes on them and sell for a $400-$500K profit.   
These prices depend on the subdivision you are in in Mclean itself.  It varies on one street to another.  You have to know the area.
