Easy to get along with and down to earth? I'm not sure why PPs have listed Bethesda, Potomac, and McLean. Arlington and Takoma Park I can understand.

Maybe because other people have different views than you?

Some would find people in the three places you mentioned as friendlier than Arlington residents and less doctrinaire than TP residents.

Petworth, Takoma Park.

We live in 16th Street Heights and love our neighbors.

I don't think expensive housing is an indicator of good people. Not saying that there aren't good people in wealthy neighborhoods, but I find it strange that someone would use that as their primary factor for finding good people.

The only neighbors so far that has not given a flying flip what we make in terms of our income are the people in McLean. All my neighbors are independently successful, confident, have awesome family values, and are very friendly.

A very funny anecdote is that we used to live in Chantilly, and recently went to an old neighbor's son's birthday party. We've remained very good friends even though we moved to McLean. Our friends also moved, to Falls Church and there were some of their new neighbor friends at the party. One of them walked over and asked "So how do you know John?" My wife replied "oh, we were neighbors." Thinking that we lived in Fall Church as well, she asked "oh, so you were on xyx St?" My wife responded "no, no, we were neighbors in Chantilly". You could see the expression change on her face like hotel curtains being drawn. I don't want to pass judgement on people who live in Falls Church based on this one person, but it was funny nonetheless.
