[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No doubt Bethesda. Best of both worlds [/quote]

+1.  I think that this is a no-brainer -- live in Bethesda.

Your kids will want to be near friends.  And there are a lot more amenities in Bethesda that are useful for tweens -- namely a ton of sports teams in which to participate and their facilities.  (I don't know of even a pool in Georgetown (except one public one), whereas there are tons of neighborhood pools in Bethesda.)

I have lived in Bethesda for 15 years, and our youngest is a 9th grader at a private school here.  It's a really pleasant to live.  I highly recommend 20816 for your zip code.

There are two pools in Georgetown and Francis pool in the adjacent West End is also easily accessible. 
I would also advise people to look at the map and compare the size of the two geographical areas. Georgetown is tiny and dense so of course there will be less stuff but that doe not mean you cannot reach what you need easily, be it metro, pool or sports. In the end it boils down to whether one prefers more of a city life or is happier in a suburb. [/quote]
