#1 Bethesda: The home of Marriott HQ, Bethesda is a great place to live for many reasons — even aside from its obvious accessibility. One of the most renowned communities in the Washington, DC Metro area, Bethesda is known as the go-to place for ethnic restaurants, great shopping, and trendy hot spots (to name just a a few). Not to mention Bethesda’s Arts and Entertainment District, which is brimming with inspiring art venues such as the Strathmore and The Bethesda Blues & Jazz Club.

#2 Chevy Chase: You’re probably familiar with Chevy Chase, the neighborhood in Washington, DC, but Chevy Chase is also a town in Maryland that’s quite popular with those looking to move out of the city. The town has a small population, and most residents own their own homes. Its school system is highly rated, and because it’s so close to Washington, DC, it’s very easy to commute or pop into the city on weekends to tour a museum or visit the zoo with your family.

#3 Potomac: For those searching for calm, serene neighborhoods, Potomac is definitely a quieter town compared to Washington, DC, and many other suburbs in the area. This is because Potomac has more residential districts than commercial ones, and the homes often sit on larger plots of land, giving neighbors slightly more distance between each other.

#4 Silver Spring: One of the most important aspects of any suburb that people look for is its proximity to their jobs, and if you work at Marriott, then you’ll love living in Silver Spring. Being so close to the city keeps drive times down. Silver Spring is also an historic city, so there’s plenty of charm in its older homes. Like other suburbs, Silver Spring is seeing new developments pop up, which means there are newer homes also on the market from which to choose.

#5 Rockville: Want a more upscale lifestyle a bit more removed from city limits? If you don’t mind a slightly longer commute or don’t need to commute as much, then Rockville might be the perfect choice for you. The city is known for its low crime rates and highly rated schools, making it an ideal place for families to plant roots. And for those who love exploring the outdoors, the town’s Civic Center Park offers tons of trails and green spaces to explore.

#6 Gaithersburg: A diverse city, Gaithersburg has tons of entertainment for families and even young professionals. Children will enjoy the city’s skate park, indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities, and mini golf course, while adults will love exploring the Old Towne district and the many restaurants in the area.

#7 Cathedral Heights: Named after the National Cathedral from which this neighborhood gets its name, Cathedral Heights enjoys one of the best locations DC has to offer. The community, which is sandwiched between Glover Park and Tenleytown, lies between Fulton Street to the south, Wisconsin Avenue to the east, Rodman Street to the north, and roughly Glover Archbold Park (an arm of Rock Creek Park) to the west. Its upper Northwest location, quality public and private schools, charming restaurants, picturesque streets, historical allure, safe reputation, and selection of parks have made Cathedral Heights a popular neighborhood for families and visitors alike.

#8 Woodley Park: North of Dupont Circle – and across Rock Creek Park from funky Adams Morgan – genteel Woodley Park was one of several uptown neighborhoods where 19th- and early 20th-century Washingtonians escaped the summer heat. To this day, it still boasts historic architecture, plus the modern buzz of good restaurants with sidewalk cafes. The neighborhood features a few iconic sights, including a Marilyn Monroe mural and two spectacular bridges, the Taft and the Duke Ellington. Its biggest attraction, the Smithsonian National Zoo, which backs up to Rock Creek Park, is home to the city’s famed giant pandas.
