[quote=Anonymous]I’m from Westchester and lived and had friends in New Rochelle,
Eastchester Mamaroneck and Scarsdale. I also lived in Connecticut all towns were along Metro North.on the Metro North. When I moved to Morris Counry in NJ everything seemed like it was off a highway or a jug handle. There were some cute towns but we were closer to strip malls. Driving through Bethesda once my husband said Bethesda is more like Weatchester. NoVa is more like NJ. I find it hard to compare the areas in MD vs. VA to Westchester some of that vibe I wanted, some I was happy to leave. I only know the schools in one town we have lived in NOVA and they were fine. They were safe, diverse and our town had a mix of housing from apartment rentals, to townhomes, small lower income income housing, boxy cookie cutter homes to McMansions on 4 acres. As has been said the county teaches the same curriculum everywhere, so education depends on AP, IB, and tutoring. We drive to a park’n’ride to get to the train and then walk to work. All told 3 hours round trip. You’ll find more diversity way outside the beltway. You won’t find charm. Well, you can if you want small rooms and and closets on small lots.  Westchester has a lot of diplomats we have a lot of people who work in the government but can’t share what they do. For years. I struggled to find a Westchester-like town here. There isn’t. Realtors told me to go visit the schools, which might be a little easier now than last year at this time. I think it’s the best way to see if what you are looking for and what is here will meet your needs and wants. We had to figure it all out in a weekend. If you can take way more time and ask lots of questions! [/quote]
