Moving to the D.C. area, Comparing McLean,Va - NW D.C. - Potomac, MD (Washington: apartment)

[MovingYetAgain]

So we are moving yet again...

This time to the D.C. area We are looking only in areas with schools rated 10

Could anyone provide comparisons of the area to McLean, VA - Potomac, MD - NW D.C. areas?

We are going to rent a home or an apartment and will only choose an area with rated 10 public school.

Just looking for thoughts on each of the areas.

All three are very nice but very expensive. And I mean that for the Washington, D.C. area, so you can imagine how expensive that really is. Basically, the most affluent people in the region live in these places. So, you need to have or make some pretty good coin.

Then again, you're renting. So, it should be more manageable.

Thanks for replying. We will be looking for a 2 bedroom place and have a range of $2k -3.5k for the rent in mind.
