[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in both.  There are some differences, but I think the bigger differences have to do with how much you can afford, the type of house you want (SFH?  Townhouse? Apt?).

From your description, Potomac is right out.  Potomac is mostly dispersed, wooded, SFH with pockets, no Metro, few walkable locations.

Look carefully at EXACTLY where you would live.  Check the rush-hour traffic, schools rating, and crime stats of the exact neighborhood you're considering.  There could be a huge difference in just a few miles.

Arlington, McClean and Bethesda, Chevy Chase by the metro / malls have lots of "walk opportunity".  Walk to school is a crapshoot.  Depends on what you can afford, but if you have a N.CA home guessing at least about 2m?  You should be able to find a good neighborhood.

Not so fond of NoVa traffic, Youngkin, or the way they handle taxes (it's a bit draconian).

The deciding factor may be where you work.  If you work in NoVA, it may be better to locate there.  Traffic can be pretty bad across 270 split at rush.

Good luck and welcome to the DC NCR!
