DC native but B-CC alum here. Loved my 3 years in Bethesda in High School. Easily the best Suburb in the entire DMV - IF you can afford it! It's very expensive. Great video....But North Bethesda is NOT BETHESDA. If you live there your kids aren't going to the Three Public High Schools in Bethesda (Whitman, Watler Johnson & BCC). Rockville HS is a major step down from those three if your kid doesn't get into Richard Montgomery. All caps...North Bethesda didn't exist when I was in High school lol (I graduated in 1997). That's just White Flint or Southern Rockville. It was just Cooler to cling to "North" Bethesda because Bethesda was very trendy in the 90's. But it's important to denote that for folks if you move to North Bethesda you are a 2-3 Subway stops away from Actual Bethesda, a good 10 minute drive from the Woodmont/Downtown Bethesda restaurants and Nightlife and nowhere near as walkable (it's the beginning of the Rockville Pike). Totally different world but still pretty nice.
Great Information.
Thanks Michael!
