[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I think its kind of an old DC thing. All the old partners at my firm live in MD, and the young ones in NOVA. I think NOVA used to be very much less desirable, and things have gotten a little more even recently. Wealthy DC commuters have generally gravitated to MD because the schools are better, homes bigger, no bridges. I have housesat for my partner several times in the Palisades however, and I find the traffic just as bad from there as it is from North Arlington. Taxes are also lower in VA. I think it depends who you ask -- the over 45 crowd, MD much better. The younger, under 35 -- its between DC and VA, and DC is obviously considered much cooler. But I still had to pay $700k plus for my wee home in NOVA, so, who knows... obviously some of us want to live there.[/quote]

VA schools are superior than MD. There are a few good MD schools but the number of good ones in VA greatly greatly outnumber the good MD schools. You can also buy a bigger house in an equally desirable location for less money and taxes in VA (Bethesda vs Mclean). [/quote]

You do understand the MD has had the best schools in the US for the last 4 years in a row right?[/quote]

haha

notice that there are many more VA school's in the top 100 and NO maryland schools in the top 10
