[quote=Anonymous]We live in Bethesda's Westmoreland Hills neighborhood.

The homes have character and the neighborhood is leafy and hilly -- with topographical variation and winding streets, which I prefer to a flat grid.  There are block parties, the ice cream man (Phil), and trick-or-treating. Cars can't cut through to go anywhere, so there's no through-traffic and the kids walk between the houses.  The Capital Crescent trail runs  1 1/2 blocks from our house, and our young teenagers get on their bikes and go with friends into downtown Bethesda for ice cream, etc.  It takes 3 minutes to get to Sibley Hospital, 2 minutes to get to our pediatrician.  When we walk to Wagshal's deli, everyone knows us.  I wish there were more interesting restaurants nearby, but with Westbard being developed, I'm hopeful there will be soon.  Until then, it's nice to be regulars at Pizza Paradisio, Compass, and Millie's.  American University provides a ready supply of babysitters and dog walkers. Westmoreland Hills is akin to Spring Valley but with less expensive homes and no arsenic.

I can't speak for all of Bethesda, which is a pretty big geographical area.  But this neighborhood is absolutely amazing and we'll never move until we're physically unable to keep the house and yard up.  Our neighbors must feel the same, because the only house for sale for a few months has been the one priced at $9M.
