[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are nice places to live with good public schools.

I would NOT want to cross the river every day to work.   That commute is just awful.  Not many bridges across the river, so alternate routes are very limited.  Every day the Potomac bridges’ multiple issues-du-jour are mentioned during commute times on WTOP-FM’s traffic reports.

If I worked in MD, I would live in MD.  If I worked in VA, then I would live in VA.  If worked in DC, I might live either place, but only after understanding the specific commute options for my workplace.

West Bethesda inside the beltway has a TON of ways to get downtown to World bank area in 20 mins no traffics, 30 mins (MacArthur, mass Ave, Clara Barton, River Road) as well as north and to the beltway in like 3-5 stop signs of driving not 20 mins like DC.

Comparable Bethesda house not along subway will cost less than in McLean (inside beltway for both locations).

The bridges can really get you, be careful if you pick NiVA and need to get to office in WDC daily.

Live in McLean. Short drive to West Falls Church Metro and an easy ride to DC without all the traffic lights getting from Bethesda or even upper NW to downtown DC if traveling by car.

Also, more private schools are in MoCo and NW DC should you need those at any time. [/quote][/quote]
