[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transit. Cleveland Park & Forest Hills are on the metro line. Chevy Chase is not.[/quote]

this is news to me, as a Chevy Chase resident who is a 7 minute walk to the Friendship Hts metro.[/quote]

most of chevy chase is not close to metro.  yes, the part near/in friendship heights is but more than 80% of CCDC is at least a 15-20 minute walk from it.  But same can be said for Forest Hills - there are large parts that are not that close to metro.  Whereas almost all of CP is no more than a 10 minute walk from metro.[/quote]

Still no.  Everything west of Connecticut in ccdc is 10 mins or less from friendship heights station.  Meanwhile, evidently unbeknownst to geography-challenged you, a lot of actual, historic Cleveland Park is along Wisconsin ave and ~macomb and a real hike to the CP station [/quote]

How about this? Some of ccdc is walkable to metro (meaning 10 min walk or less) but most is not. Most of CP is walkable to metro but some is not. That is certainly true. And most people think of ccdc as the large part of it that's east of ct Ave. even though the western part is technically ccdc most think of it as friendship heights. and [b]most people think of CP as the parts around CT ave not the small part west of Wisconsin which most people think of as the cathedral area even though it's technically in cp.[/b] [/quote]

That's because Cleveland Park doesn't extend west of Wisconsin Ave.  That area is variously known as McLean Gardens, Cathedral Heights or "Cathedral Commons" (yuck  :mrgreen: )[/quote]

Sure it does. Check the boundaries for the Cleveland park swim club[/quote]

That's the anomaly, for reasons particular to the club's history (founded when McLean Gardens was an estate).  And the CPC site notes that the club membership area includes Cleveland Park and parts of McLean Gardens, Woodley Park and North Cleveland Park.

The boundaries of the Cleveland Park Historic District, the CP Citizens Association and Wikipedia's write up (for what's that's worth) don't extend west of Wisconsin.
