| All these seem roughly the same to me so maybe a shorter list and what you’re trying to find. Distance to downtown? Price? Zoning? Something else? |

Vienna - north Bethesda
Oakton - darnestown McLean - a smaller Bethesda Chantilly - olney Manassas- Bowie City of Alexandria - Takoma Park / Silver Spring Dumfries - Waldorf Ashburn - North Potomac Great Falls - Potomac Fairfax City - Rockville Lorton - Germantown Nothing really compares to Chevy Chase , Glen Echo, Brookmont or Cabin John, or Poolesville or Frederick. |

Arlington = Silver Spring (I know a lot of people will disagree, the only reason the difference feels stark is because SS is more economically integrated whereas Arlington is segregated by income in the north vs South).
McLean = Bethesda Great Falls = Potomac Alexandria = Annapolis (but a lot larger and more cosmopolitan) West Springfield = Crofton/Odenton Lorton = Urbana Loudoun County = Howard County. Ashburn is essentially Columbia, while the other more rural parts with large homes on a lot of land are equal to Clarksville, Marriottsville, and Glenelg. |

The non Manassas city part of Manssas is more like Edgewater or Davidsonville. Rednecks mixed with highly affluent people. |

Ya'll are bad at this, esp the last poster who just chose her own areas? Vienna = Catonsville McLean = The old Bethesda side towards the river Oakton = Flower Valley Chantilly = Columbia Manassas = Severna Park. Not the nice side Old Town( City of Alex) = Annapolis? Dumfries = Ellicott City Ashburn = Columbia. The nicer part Great Falls = Darnestown, but not those zips Fairfax (city) = North Bethesda Lorton = Hagerstown |

Dumpfries is more like half Ellicott City and half Glen Burnie. And Lorton is Hagerstown? LOL. |

Obviously without the nice waterfront + shops. Dumfries/Lorton = ? Ashburn = Urbana City of Fairfax = City of Rockville |

| I would say Columbia is like Reston - Planned communities. Ellicott City/Clarksville is like Sterling, Loundon County. |

This is right but I think Chevy Chase MD is more closer to North Arlington |
