[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love Arlington. Picked it over Chevy chase-bethesda bc i have a 15 min commute from Clarendon not a 45 min one from Bethesda. That's an hour every day i save. But whether i'd move for schools depends on which ones in each place. [/quote]

Weird.  Chevy Chase is 1000X nicer than Arlington.  Clarendon is a cheesy faux city with nothing to redeem it other than a transit stop. [/quote]

And friendship heights/Bethesda is a real city. Oy. Someone is delusional.[/quote]

If you spent time in Bethesda, you'd know it's both more urban and more urbane than Clarendon.  I would not move out of Bethesda or Chevy Chase for Arlington.  It is a step down that OP would come to regret. [/quote]

Urbane says it all.  Chevy Chase is where people with wealth can show at Jimmy Choo and send their staff to whole foods; Arlington is where the middle class or upper middle class congregate for short commutes, good schools, and a few pockets of walk-able neighborhoods.

OP just needs to figure out where they fall on that divide. Both neighborhoods are very nice and have good schools, so if you can afford either, you are blessed either way.
