[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The close-in nice areas of MoCo (Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomoac, etc) seem nicer than close-in Virginia counterparts.  And they feel more connected to Upper NW DC.   It's just a nicer setting and schools, etc are really good (public and private).  Northern Virginia seems like the more transient area.  Maryland seems more established, has a stronger sense of pride/place.

Virginia does have the better public college options and the horse country areas are beautiful.

I'd rather live in Maryland overall. [/quote]

Agree with the above, but some of the neighborhoods mentioned, such as Potomac, really aren't that close to the city. No one considers Great Falls close in, but it's  just as close-in as Potomac. Parts of North Arlington, McLean and Vienna are very nice communities also, and are similar to parts of Bethesda. Fairfax Co.'s top schools are just as good if not better than MoCo's "W" schools.  MD doesn't have the fine college network that VA has, with three schools in the top 20 of all public colleges.

Chevy Chase is gorgeous and has no equivalent in VA, but very few can afford it.

For younger people and families, VA is much more affordable, has equally lovely neighborhoods, more jobs, and has the college network. It's hard to beat.
