This x 1,000,000.

If you can afford it go with downtown Bethesda. Better schools than any comparable neighborhood in Arlington and better retail and restaurants too. The only comparable neighborhood to downtown Bethesda in Arlington is Lyon Village and Clarendon and they do not have houses like this over there that are walkable to retail like this:

That house is $5 million and out of reach for 99 percent of people.[/quote]

There are houses like that near the Clarendon metro. Not in Lyon Village though. I can't afford them, but there are some big houses along the orange line.[/quote]

There is no neighborhood in Arlington that is walkable to a big commercial area that is remotely as nice as the area near downtown Bethesda immediately west of Arlington Road and north of Bradley near Bethesda Row, Somerset, Chevy Chase West, and the Battery Park neighborhood. Take a walk around the lower Sidwell Friends school and you’ll see for yourself. I’ve been here for 50 years and have lived in Arlington and Bethesda. There is no comparison.[/quote]
