There is a lot of jealousy on this thread.


That’s exactly what a striver from Bethesda would think. That’s why I chose not to buy in west MoCo.

I would just do Friendship Heights. It's not that diverse, but more so than Bethesda. And it's a quick metro ride or 5 minute car trip to Bethesda, depending on where you're going. There are decent restaurants in Palisades, CCDC, etc and FH should have more within a few years - the Junction is good for coffee/ casual food and a Trader Joes is coming soon. And you can walk to Whole Foods. The housing stock seems to be cheaper there than in adjacent neighborhoods.

No. Traffic is horrible. It is 15 min with no traffic and can be 45 with traffic.

Not very diverse, especially downtown near restaurants. I would look in upper NW.


This is changing. Also there are a ton of internationals. Will you be in downtown Bethesda? If so look in that zip, 20814, and you can walk to work.

I promote 20910 a lot, but OP wants a two-car garage. She would need to be patient until a new build comes on the market, since that's a rare commodity in the neighborhood.

This would be one of my first choices.

And I know all about Bethesda.

I'd look at Kensington or Garrett Park. Bethesda adjacent, and easy MARC or Metro into DC when needed.

Upper northwest is diverse??


Pretty sure it’s less ethnically diverse than Bethesda.
