Northern Virginia continues to shine in national rankings—three of its suburbs—McLean, Wolf Trap, and Vienna—have been identified among the top‑50 wealthiest suburbs in America by GOBankingRates.com (July, 2025). Two Maryland suburbs—Potomac and Bethesda—also made the cut, underscoring the broader strength of the DMV region.

Here’s a closer look at the Northern Virginia suburbs:
• McLean ranks No. 12 nationally, with an average household income around $364,000 and typical home values of approximately $1.54 million.
• Wolf Trap placed No. 20, with an average income near $301,800 and home values averaging around $1.20 million.
• Vienna also made the list (No. 45), with an average household income of about $265,700 and typical home prices just over $1.11 million.

In Maryland, Potomac and Bethesda—long regarded as affluent communities—join the NoVA trio on the elite list.

The appearance of three Northern Virginia suburbs among the top 50 emphasizes the region’s continued appeal: proximity to Washington, D.C., high‑paying jobs, access to strong education systems, and premium lifestyle amenities. Leaders in defense, technology, and professional service sectors drive the local economy, supported by upscale infrastructure in these communities.
