It boils down to simple math. Bethesda has small lots and houses are back to back. Home prices are anywhere from $400-600/sqft. Potomac has large lots, more space and houses tend to be more spread out. Houses trade at $250-350/sqft, so bottom line you can get about twice as much house, more acreage and more peace and quiet in Potomac vs. Bethesda, but are trading off about 15-20min of extra commuting to DC, and a little less retail density.
I loved your videos. If we move in with our dogs in one of these big Potomac homes, are there any restrictions? If yes than how many dogs can be allowed
Thank you so much! With any HOA, you need to check the restrictions. There are so many big beautiful homes in Potomac, I’m sure we can find a perfect one for you and your dogs!!!
I like the area of Bethesda better, but I like the Potomac homes more. If I’m paying $1.3M for home, I’d expect at least a 2 car garage, let alone one at all. Silver Spring and Takoma are also nice and a bit more affordable for Bethesda for a lot of the same amenities.

Thanks for this video. I was looking at a house on Holly Leaf in Bethesda and was wondering how far it was from shopping, restaurants etc.
Always a great presentation.
Thank you!
Great video! We chose Bethesda. It’s a great place to live.
It really is!

Bethesda and Potomac are like siblings
Potomac > Bethesda
Bethesda is richer and more expensive
