[quote=Anonymous]I live a little further up, just North of NIH, but frequent that neighborhood.  I use the Fitness First Gym across from Benihannna (it's a great deal and has good child care hours by the way).   I agree that it is a great spot.   You also have a running trail in the back of the neighborhood.  In terms of community, one of the challenges in Bethesda generally is that the high housing prices means there are a lot of dual-income families, which means everyone is extremely busy and it can be hard to connect with other families.  I've been to that neighborhood park with my kids several times and the vast majority of kids are there with nannies or au pairs.  So while there are a lot of kids, if you'll be staying home, it may take a while to build your own connections.  That said, the fact that you're entering the local elementary school should help a lot.

We moved from the Tenley town area to the Alta Vista neighborhood.  We can walk to metro, and to lots of parks but are too far to walk to downtown Bethesda (we jog it a lot).  We miss the conveinance of being able to stop by CVS on the way home from the metro.  You'll have that in East Bethesda and from what you've said about being city people, I would think it will be a good fit.
