Moving from out of state into DMV area. Where to look?

Bethesda, North Bethesda, Rockville, Falls Church City but you need to consider proximity to the metro.

Fine with a train commute up to an hour, but not wiling to deal with a car commute of more than 25 minutes. Both working in DC Downtown. We’re farmers market and library people, not nightclubs or bars people, ideally an area that’s nice and boring after dark. One and done on the kid front. We’ve done private school and will if we have to, but prefer public. We’re not sure if DC is a permanent move or something for the next few years, so ideally want to rent to learn the area before deciding if buying makes sense. Adults are familiar with DC because of work travel, but that’s vastly different than living in an area.

Look at a house in Burke close to the VRE station.

Are you both working in the city? What about Fort Hunt. The commute would be more like 30 min up the GW parkway, but decent schools and St Louis is there if you want parochial.

(Sorry, reread to say you were both working downtown)
