[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for Bethesda. It just makes more sense for quality of life. Georgetown has its charm, no doubt but you will spend so much of your life sitting at red lights on Wisconsin. People drive like lunatics on that stretch and I just think you'll regret it. If your kids are into sports, so many of the practices/games will take place in Bethesda, North Bethesda, Rockville and beyond. It will be untenable to participate if you have to do that commute.

I've lived in various parts of DC, including Georgetown. Only place I've been mugged is Georgetown. I also had to park on the street. Spent so much time finding spots and had my mirror knocked off and a huge gash in the street side of my car due to side swipes on those narrow streets. I now live in Chevy Chase with kids. I have a house with a yard and about a 25 minute commute to K Street via either car or metro. I've found my neighbors to be kind, interesting, worldly people. They look out for my family and vice versa. My kids walk to their friends houses. It's been a peaceful, lovely place to live for this chapter of our lives.

Good luck with the move and welcome to the area--hope you find a place that feels like home for your family![/quote]
