McLean is well known for its many upscale homes, as well as its shopping and upscale malls, including the nearby Tysons Corner Center and the Tysons Galleria. Awesome shopping!
This area is home to many diplomats, members of Congress and high-ranking federal government officials, entrepreneurs and service businesses partially attributable to the close location to Washington, D.C. and the Central Intelligence Agency. It is also the location of Hickory Hill, the former home of Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy.
Several major companies are headquartered in McLean including Freddie Mac, Mars, Capital One, Gannett, NVR, Bearingpoint, USA Today, and Booz Allen Hamilton.
One of the things that I like best about McLean is the McLean Community Center, where you can find outstanding art and performances right in your backyard.
