Too much noise from major roads.

Don’t forget about us over here in Rollingwood! We have lots of green space.

We live in CC. The traffic is insane. Not safe for kids to ride their bikes. Brookville is a huge traffic jam - it's at a standstill in the morning and late afternoons. Lots of pretty homes, but also lots of miserable old people who haven't updated their houses since 1970.Because of the hills, horrible flooding in basements across the town and village.

It's frumpy, overpriced, and boring.

And the purple line has closed the path to Bethesda.

CC is really nothing to brag about. And home prices are not keeping up with Bethesda.

I lived there for a time and agree - you really don't hear the noise from Connecticut or EW.

I live in regular old CCMD, no village or town or special name. Surprisingly there's a decent amount of diversity, decent commute to downtown and equidistant to Bethesda and SS, and of course the same public school pyramid as all you fancy types. We're close enough to belong to the North Chevy Chase pool, so it's all good in my book.

But one of our friends in the town or the village or one of those fancier parts of CC (sorry, I can never remember which one is which) once informed me that it's not "real" Chevy Chase - apparently anyone north of EW Highway is just an interloper.

I thought the only other possible justice in CC is Kavanaugh ( who is in the village). Neither is Somerset or East CC. Are you trying to stay away from walkability to a metro?

My understanding is that The Village is the most prestigious.

Kavanaugh lives in Section 5

OP - there are so few houses that come on the market, why would you get your heart set on one little subsection of Chevy Chase versus another? They can't be THAT different.

I would think about whether you want to be walkable to any retail and if so, what, since there are parts of Chevy Chase that are walkable to the Trader Joe's, Target, Bethesda Row area, parts that are walkable to the Brookville Rd shops, parts that are walkable to Chevy Chase DC strip of retail (Grafton Street right off the circle is really beautiful) and a few parts that are walkable to Friendship Heights.
