Welcome to McLean

A private and upscale suburb with access to Washington DC

Rising gently from the west banks of the Potomac River, McLean lies along the Capital Beltway in Northern Virginia. Both stylish and influential, McLean’s fine homes are found on the Piedmont upland, surrounded by thick foliage, wide sidewalks, and privacy. The secure neighborhood boasts an elegant lifestyle and an ideal location for families, professionals, and retirees.
 
The area of McLean was founded in 1910 when the nearby areas of Langley and Lewinsville merged. Its name is derived from the founder and original owner of the renowned Washington Post, and McLean has enjoyed more than a century of distinguished businesses and illustrious residents — Capital One, Mars, and Hilton Worldwide are just a few of the companies based out of McLean.
 
Today, McLean is an acclaimed, family-friendly neighborhood dotted by attractive architecture and carefully-eyed landscaping. You can expect to be greeted by brick colonial, Victorian, contemporary, and Georgian-style homes, harkening back to McLean’s locale near the heart of our nation. Made complete by a twist of modern living, McLean is a model city for anyone seeking a retreat from the demanding life of downtown living without sacrificing access altogether.
 

Things to Love

People and Lifestyle

Home to nearly 50,000 residents, McLean is an oasis of charming architecture, remarkable history, and first-rate lifestyles. The city has a sparse suburban feel and enjoys a quiet, serene atmosphere compared to downtown Washington DC and other suburbs. A majority of its residents are highly educated, married, and often work in management, law, health care, and public administration. While the cost of living is competitive and higher than the national average, it matches the incomparable quality of life found in the neighborhood.
 

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment

McLean is abundant with options when it comes to its restaurant scene, as well as retail. The town is rife with chic shopping and enticing eateries.
 
A luxurious destination, the upscale Tyson’s Galleria is one of the most premier shopping centers in the whole of the East Coast. Its spotlight is shared only with Tyson’s Corner Center, which hosts major brands, deluxe styles, and more than enough options in stores and entertainment to keep anyone satisfied.
 
After a successful day of shopping, be sure to replenish your energy or cap off the night at any number of excellent restaurants McLean has to offer. Check out the best steakhouse in McLean, J. Gilbert’s Wood-Fired Steaks and Seafood. Or maybe Tachibana Sushi Bar and Restaurant is more enticing, as it offers both warm, family-friendly atmospheres and more upscale dining experiences, depending on the occasion. Wildfire Steaks, Chops, & Seafood is great for a delicious, elegant night full of high-quality steaks and an even better ambiance. Paul’s French Bakery offers delectable, melt-in-your-mouth pastries and delicious, authentic bread, all in a bright, inviting environment.
