XP: Chevy Chase MD?

Hi. We have a remote chance of moving because of dh's job. The company is in Chevy chase MD which I know absolutely nothing about. 

Can anyone tell me anything about this town or recommend another town somewhat nearby maybe within 45 minutes or so?

Our biggest requirement is excellent schools. After that I suppose we would be looking for a nice town with decent restaurants, things to do etc. we generally like newer homes. Big lots/ land aren't that important to us. 

Any insight would be amazing. 

I'm definetely putting the cart before the horse but I cant help but start to research. 

Thanks!

  • I don't know much about specific neighborhoods, but in general, the Chevy Chase and Bethesda area is a very nice and affluent area (read: expensive)! Montgomery County also has an excellent public school system.

    You will probably get better info

  • LOL - yes chevy chase has EXCELLENT schools.

    Houses are about 900K minimum there. 

    There are rentals, but most are in high rise condo buildings.

  • Yikes!

     Sticker shock. We won't be living there. I think our goal would be to be in that county but not that town. 

    Our max budget would be around 800,000 But I would expect a nice house for that so

  • for 800K you could buy something nice nearby - Bethesda, Potomac and Rockville are all nice - and probably in that budget.  You might find older SFH houses (split levels, no garage, etc.) in excellent neighborhoods for that price.

  • Chevy Chase is a really nice area! In general Montgomery county is really nice, with excellent schools, although like anywhere it has pockets that I would avoid.  Also traffic can be pretty brutal in that area, so you may want to bear that in mind
