Hey OP, former Hudson Valley transplant here!
(born in Brooklyn, moved to Rockland at 15 & then lived in Carmel until 28, before moving down here).

I have to say, I really love it down here. 
When I first moved here, my fiance at the time (now husband) moved us to downtown Bethesda, which was fantastic since you could walk everywhere you needed to go.
We stayed downtown for a few years and bought a home off of Old Georgetown Rd.

I still love it down here, and we love raising our family here. 
There are beautiful areas, deep, rich diverse culture & interesting educational sites in a ton of places in the DMV area, you just have to know where to go (newsflash: Bethesda's not the place for that deep, rich diverse culture, lol).

My only complaint really is the awful congestion & the drivers... oh, the drivers.

If you're on the beltway and put on your directional (to let the drivers in the next lane over know that you're planning on entering their lane) plan for them to speed up not to let you in.

I've never lived anywhere where drivers due that more often than the DC area... they actually speed up NOT to let you in once you've indicated you're going into their lane (even if they're 30 feet back!).

You'll be fine wherever you go, glad to have another transplant!
