[quote=Anonymous]if you are looking for good schools, close-in to dc, walkable to metro and playgrounds and a long-term investment, i would recommend chevy chase.  there are lots of great areas - there is chevy chase village, chevy chase west, village of drummond, town of chevy chase and town of somerset.  norwood and livingston park are fantastic and depending on where you end up along wisconsin, you will most likely be able to walk to either the friendship heights metro or the bethesda metro.  bethesda row has lots of cute restaurants and friendship heights has all the shopping you could ask for.  that cluster of homes is largely in the somerset/westland/bcc cluster (some go to a different elementary school, which is also very good, and then meet up for middle and high school).  although the middle school gets mixed reviews, my understanding is that they are likely building a new one to reduce the school population and class size -- at least by the time that your kids will be in middle school.

i will caveat that we do live in the area, but we really love it for a lot of the reasons that you have identified so i figured i would respond.

the major downside is that housing stock is neither plentiful nor fantastic.  we've got (at least in my opinion) a very expensive fixer-upper but i'm quite certain we'll see our money back on the other end.

good luck![/quote]
