Long term Maryland native here, she is right about everything. Thanks for the advice!

I work in Bethesda and I wish I had researched more before picking my career location. EVERYTHING is expensive. Food, gas, regular shopping, etc.

Grew up near Bethesda. My sister summed up the experience with "my high school boasted some of the highest SAT scores and highest suicide rates." The pressure to be super successful financially to support such an expensive lifestyle is not always worth it.

real estate developers changed the name of Rockville just above the beltway into "North Bethesda" so they could charge insane monthly rents on their so called luxury developments. The real Bethesda is inside the beltway and it's even more expensive. Bethesda/Chevy Chase was the OG neighborhood of choice for the old school OSS crew that started up the CIA.

My parents bought a house at 9508 Forest Road, Bethesda, MD, in 1966 for $26, 000. It still shows up on Google maps with the same paint and roof it had back then. Looks exactly the same. It sold last year for $1, 200, 000. I guess money is free over there 😁. In 2019 I bought a 4 bedroom 2 bath brick house 2, 000 S.F. with 3 acres, two barns including horse stalls and horse corrals for $120, 000. It was built in 1990 and had a complete remodel where I got to pick the roof type. The neigbors thought I was crazy for paying the asking price. Today it's worth about $175, 000. Tucumcari, NM. I could never afford to move back to Bethesda. It was a nice place to grow up. The TV show "The Wonder Years" was about those times and that location. Went to school with some involved with the production of the show. Memories...

I was born at Suburban, in the mid 50s, spending my first years of school at Ashburton. Back then, our home fit perfectly on the lot, and as it was a corner lot, many games began in our yard, because the sidewalk began next door. I'm so glad I stopped there, in 1998, for the last time, as our 3 bedroom split-level, that fit perfectly has been replaced, by one of the ugliest 7 bedroom McMansions I've ever seen. I'm not sure what the builder was going for, but it's a sad day when beautiful hardwood oak flooring, stone steps, and fireplaces are torn up, in place of Pergo, and no grass. There were also no children playing anywhere.

Property taxes for the same house and lot size in Upper Marlboro vs Bethesda.
5k vs 9k
If the extra 4k can get your kids into top colleges, then it's completely worthwhile.
But if top colleges aren't the highest priority for your kids, just save your money and live in Upper Marlboro ❤

Hi Caryn, I really enjoy your YouTube videos. However, I would have to disagree with you on one thing. I love the DC summers. 😊 The humidity is mild compared to Florida and other Southern states.

[bhershman]

Thanks will consider Rockville or Olney - Bethesda to rich for my blood

[huynguyentoantin]

I am not rich enough, so the cost of living in Bethesda is not worth it for me

[Travel.Suisse]

I am not surprised 😅 I live in Suisse and here more expensive 😅😅😅😅😅

[CopperVader]

This video is way above my tax bracket 😂

[infinitytricks]

Awesome place to raise a family if you’re a high income earner. $250k is the base minimum salary to live here. More money more space better schools….you will border Potomac, Cabin John, or Glen Echo…..north Bethesda/Rockville. Honestly, household income needs to be above $500k to live the life in this part of southern Moco. Chevy Chase..Kensington are awesome neighborhoods that border Bethesda as well. Zip codes matter here.

I was analysing your YouTube channel. You make nice videos on your channel, I really enjoyed it. I noticed one thing: according to your channel, your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You Need to optimise your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimised and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow.

the amount of anxiety and neuroticism in much of the Bethesda population is unreal

[Tamar-szox]

U can Take your country clubs 💰and you know what 😂 those prices are outrageous

Hello Hello, I went to Tilden Middle School, Walter Johnson HS for few months before move so I basically grew up in that area and I literally worked at 2 Bethesda Metro Center building for few years, and went to multiple restaurants in and around there on weekly basis. I was there this weekend just to ride around on my little motorcycle. The thing is this, there is nothing that is worth the hassle. Go find yourself a nice quite land in the middle of the woods and build yourself a little house, find peace. I will sum it up in a very few words: To children, and coffee shop working age losers, its the best place to live, but to adults, its a shithole.

No, thank you. Everyone seems rip everyone off.
