Woodley Park has all of this. We have a neighborhood block party on Sunday.


Can’t really buy a single family house for $2-$2.5 million in Woodley anymore, unless you’re up for a big project.

Probably because OP didn't say "WOTP DC" and instead said they are also looking in Chevy Chase and Bethesda?

If someone who lives WOTP in DC and thinks it's somehow different from the close in suburbs, they are fooling themselves.

What's your budget, OP?

Garrett Park is wonderful. Lots of events, both for adults and kids. Neighborhood pool (not insanely expensive, either) you don't get waitlisted for. Has a MARC station and is close to Red Line.

Town of Somerset just over border in CC MD is walkable to friendship heights metro and has a great neighborhood feel. There is a pool and swim team for all the residents. Tons of kids from both public and private schools. All the things you mentioned.

Pretty much all of them, but Chevy Chase, DC, the area re-asserting as "wakefield" around Murch, Tenleytown west of Wisconsin Ave, and if you can afford it, Cleveland Park.
