A suburban community about 25 miles outside the nation's capital
Just east of Dulles International Airport and near two Metro stations, McNair is popular for its access to D.C. and Northern Virginia. Since the community abuts the major airport, aviation noise, hotels and business parks are also part of its identity. Many of its approximately 22,000 residents work in D.C., Dulles or area office parks. Major employers include Dulles Airport, government agencies, Airbus and Northrop Grumman. The median household income is $123,327, higher than the state’s median of about $91,000. "It's still the suburbs, but you're right in the middle of everything. Reston is right there, You're 30 minutes by car or on the Metro to D.C. And you can go the opposite direction to Ashburn, Middleburg or Leesburg to a quiet winery or vineyard," says Pooja Chawla, a former Realtor at Samson Properties. However, traffic getting into the city during rush hours may cause significant delay.

Easy access to the Metro and highways
Two Metro stations are nearby: Innovation Center Metro Station and Herndon Metro Station. Both are on the Silver Line, and many residents are within walking distance.

Some commuters, however, stay in McNair for work at office parks such as Dulles Corner. "The area has a lot of government and private offices that require security clearance," Chawla says. Reston Hospital Center is also about 4 miles east of McNair.
