The Gates of McLean is located in Tysons Corner, and in a McLean postal code, but it can seem like neither.  It's somewhat tucked away from the highrises, retail, and other buildings that make up Tysons Corner.
These homes are just inside the beltway, and somewhat surrounded by trees.  Transportation is not an issue, as it is easy to get on many major roads such as: 123, 7, 267, 495, 66, and more.  If you live here, you're also very close to the Tysons Corner mall, and a proposed metro station location.

The Fountains at McLean is a condominium community that is right in the heart of Tysons Corner, Northern Virginia's biggest job center.  It is right across from Freddie Mac and it's multiple buildings.  It's also across the street from a bus station.  From this location you can easily access major roads such as: 495 (Beltway), 267 (toll road), 66 East, 123, 7, and more. 
Shopping is also close by, as it is an easy walk to either Tysons Mall, Tysons Galleria, or the soon to be completed Harris Teeter grocery store.

Cedars of Tyson, a cozy community of 10 Townhomes sits in a street unto itself off of Cedar Lane and in between the intersections of Electric Avenue to the North and Idylwood Road to the south.  Cedars of Tysons townhomes off of Goldstream were built in 1981.  These townhomes are an easy walk to the Dunn Loring post office.  They're also very close the the W/O + D Trail that crosses through  Vienna and Cedar lane a little farther south.  Someone could live in this tucked in community and be happy to be "in" and have access to Tysons Corner and Vienna, but really be on the edge of both.  It's also very easy to get to the Beltway.  You can however choose to go roads that are slightly less busy, like Gallows or Idylwood and get to McLean, Falls Church or even destinations farther into Virginia in Fairfax and beyond. Cedars of Tysons is a nice Tysons Corner townhome community that many are sure to be pleasantly surprised by.
