Where We Live: El Nido Estates

El Nido Estates is a fantastic community near downtown McLean that consists of 130 single family homes. Many of the homes were built in the 50s and 60s and have classic, mid-century modern  and contemporary architectural styles and features. The neighborhood is mostly comprised of brick ranch/ramblers, split and bi-levels  and colonials.  The neighborhood is prime for new home builders as well as the area is highly sought after in McLean as a majority of the lots are one-quarter to one-third of an acre. 

The neighborhood provides proximity and convenience, located just a mile away from shops, restaurants, and retail stores in downtown McLean. The area has must-have stores, including McLean Hardware, Total Wine, and Giant Grocery. Tysons is just 4 miles away with shopping experiences at two major regional malls that have a plethora of top-quality restaurants. In addition, Falls Church city is only 3 miles away, offering fun and unique dining options. 

Residents enjoy spending time outdoors, as many of the homes in El Nido Estates back to Pimmit Run or provide close access to the park. Lewinsville Park is just over a mile drive, and Scott’s Run Nature Preserve with hiking trails is 3.5 miles away. The latter is home to a multitude of rare plants and trails along a stream that leads to bluffs above the Potomac River. Clemyjontri Park is 2.7 miles away and is disability friendly, providing play areas for children with all abilities.
