[quote=Anonymous]Completely understandable question by OP (notwithstanding the subsequent troll attacks) and also a completely understandable (if misleading) statement by her friend (and related to geography not 'prestige').    People generally tend to associate Bethesda with the area down by 'downtown' Bethesda and along River Road - inside the Beltway - and consider Potomac to be what's on the other side of the Beltway.  But in fact Bethesda addresses extend for some stretch outside the Beltway too, out to Seven Oaks Rd and Bradley Blvd and along MacArthur Blvd.   Those areas are closer to Potomac Village than to downtown Bethesda, and many of the houses and lots feel more like Potomac than Bethesda, and if I lived there - off Bradley Blvd or MacArthur Blvd - I'd probably just answer, if asked in a casual way, that I live in Potomac rather than explaining "well technically i live in Bethesda but in the small part of Bethesda that's outside the Beltway adjacent to Potomac."

Which also underscores why some of the sweeping statements made on this site - "I'd only look at houses in Bethesda - it's so much closer/walkable/low-key than Potomac" are kind of silly, but obviously silly isn't disqualifying on DCUM.[/quote]
