[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from NY and I know exactly what you mean. We live in Kenwood Park (Bethesda) and it’s very culturally diverse. The lots are a lot bigger than some Bethesda neighborhoods. I would avoid Wood Acres. It has a mini-Martha Stewart vibe. We are in the Whitman district and have been extremely happy with our schools (Bradley Hills, Pyle, Whitman). At the end of the day, everyone who can afford to live here is “rich” but we have easily avoided any kind of country club feel by hanging out with a lot of international families. World Bank, Embassies, IMF, International journalists, etc. They couldn’t care less about old money and social status. And they’re way more fun than some of the socialite types. 
[b]One thing to note is that there is A LOT of money in DC, but there’s a difference between money in the bank and money in the driveway.

LOL I work for the World Bank and you will be utterly amazed at how many of us are old money "in our own countries".  I.e. daddy is a finance minister @ Senegal, for instance, and daughter a program manager on her way up at the Bank.[/quote]
