[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in both.   More money in Bethesda (this is a negative to me), but more stuff to do, everything doesn't close down at night (esp compared to Rosslyn)[/quote]

If she lives in Rosslyn she is surrounded by $3.9-10 million condos (Turnberry Towers, etc).  I don't think there is really a $ difference...she has to get pretty far up the Blvd before she hits any neighborhoods where entry level is under a million.

That said--I never think of Rosslyn as a neighborhood.  It is a place people used to overnight from National Airport.  Now- it is mainly luxury condos and hotels.  You can walk to Georgetown.  It is definitely not a nightspot.

Clarendon and Bethesda are very similar.  They even have the same retail stores.

VA has better public universities.  Both areas of good schools.

BUt Rosslyn--- I would never consider living there.  I have lived in both Bethesda and Clarendon (and NW)--but we moved to Clarendon when we had school age kids--primarily because it is much closer to our jobs (downtown and Oldtown) than Bethesda.[/quote]

This, Lived in South Arlington for 16 years, 6 near Old Alexandria, currently work in Rosslyn and live on  the orange line and I would never consider Rosslyn a real place to live.  Its like Crystal City, everything shuts down after 6 after people get off of work[/quote]
