Where We Live: West McLean
July 28, 2021
Situated right next to the quaint downtown area, West McLean is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods. Many of the homes in West McLean are new builds and feature craftsman style and colonial architecture. Most recently, builders have leaned towards a more contemporary aesthetic, which features large windows, geometric balance, and open floor plans.
The subdivision is a short distance from shops, restaurants and businesses located in downtown McLean. In fact, the location boasts a Walk Score of 79, which is considered very walkable: https://www.walkscore.com/score/1514-cedar-ave-mclean-va-22101.
