[quote=Anonymous]We are moving back to DC for the first time with tweens. They will go to school in Bethesda, I will commute to Farragut North, spouse works from home. We can’t trial airbnb or have an extended visit before signing a lease. Could anyone who has lived in either or both Downtown Bethesda and Georgetown please weigh in to help us decide? What would be the biggest differences in our day to day? Could we be a one-car family in both locations?

Downtown Bethesda/Chevy Chase (within 10 minute walking radius of the metro) seems just as walkable as Georgetown and more convenient for school and activities. My spouse wants to live in Georgetown because it’s Georgetown (cute/walkable). Our local friends do not have young children and live in Georgetown/Dupont so want us to live in DC proper. I don’t want to hate my daily commute but I also don’t want my tweens to hate a long bus ride to/from Georgetown, or to spend hours driving them around on weekends/for day camp during school breaks. Thanks for your honest feedback.[/quote]
