this is news to me, as a Chevy Chase resident who is a 7 minute walk to the Friendship Hts metro.
most of chevy chase is not close to metro. yes, the part near/in friendship heights is but more than 80% of CCDC is at least a 15-20 minute walk from it. But same can be said for Forest Hills - there are large parts that are not that close to metro. Whereas almost all of CP is no more than a 10 minute walk from metro.
Still no. Everything west of Connecticut in ccdc is 10 mins or less from friendship heights station. Meanwhile, evidently unbeknownst to geography-challenged you, a lot of actual, historic Cleveland Park is along Wisconsin ave and ~macomb and a real hike to the CP station
How about this? Some of ccdc is walkable to metro (meaning 10 min walk or less) but most is not. Most of CP is walkable to metro but some is not. That is certainly true. And most people think of ccdc as the large part of it that's east of ct Ave. even though the western part is technically ccdc most think of it as friendship heights. and most people think of CP as the parts around CT ave not the small part west of Wisconsin which most people think of as the cathedral area even though it's technically in cp.

LOL. Unless you're the Post Master General and have redrawn the zip code, 20815 is ALWAYS "Chevy Chase, MD".
As they say on Wikipedia about 20815:
Subdivisions
Census-designated place of Chevy Chase
Incorporated town of Chevy Chase
Villages
Chevy Chase Village
Chevy Chase Section Three
Chevy Chase Section Five
Martin's Additions
North Chevy Chase
In addition to the above, the United States Postal Service uses Chevy Chase for postal addresses that lie in the Town of Somerset and the Village of Friendship Heights which lie outside historical Chevy Chase. USPS also employs Chevy Chase addresses for the part of Silver Spring east of Jones Mill Road and Beach Drive and, west of Grubb Road.[9]
And I'll add the Village of Drummond. And the unincorporated (last I checked) "Chevy Chase West" or I always called it, Somerset Minor.
To OP: 20815 is full of very conceited people. You will note that houses in 20815 sit on the market forever, even relative to other houses in the area with a similar price point. Why is this? Often, the sellers conceits are so great that they have an inflated idea of their house's worth. While this is a hot market, there are a few 20815 properties that have been on the market for a year or even close to two years!
What is the Village of Drummond? I saw this in a real estate listing recently and it just looks like a street named Drummond.
It's actually two-thirds of one street:

If they meant Chevy Chase DC, then the differences are obvious. These 'hoods vary in pricey-ness and remoteness/public transportation access.
Cleveland Park is most centrally located and so most expensive.
Chevy Chase DC is more wooded and has more challenging transportation issues. It is much cheaper than CP.
Forrest Hills is the Goldilocks between the other two, but is still fairly pricey.

1) taxes on property are different
2) public school districts (MD is much better)
3) public services (including snow, trash removal, etc).
If you have no kids or plan to go private AND work in DC then stay in DC. Otherwise, IMHO MD is a better pick.

And to me, as a Chevy Chase resident who is a 10 min walk to the Bethesda Metro. My husband had a longer walk to the metro when he lived in cLeveland park.
