Vienna and McLean are prime locations for corporate offices, but living there has perks, too. Among them: Tysons Corner shopping, good schools, and easy highway access.
Homes priced under $800,000 in McLean move quickly. Though the upscale suburb has multimillion-dollar estates, most newer houses cost around $1.8 million to $2 million. Homes in Vienna are priced more moderately, ranging from around $400,000 to around $2 million.
For new homes, the Arts and Crafts style is popular. Houses that are low maintenance and energy efficient are also sought after. Buyers should expect to pay at least $1.2 million for an energy-efficient home in Vienna and at least $1.5 million in McLean, says Lilian Jorgenson, a real-estate agent with Long & Foster.
