Despite its heavy concentration of high-octane inhabitants, Chevy Chase somehow manages to seem bucolic and old-fashioned, a place that time forgot. Chevy Chase isn't a single entity, but rather a collection of small towns and unincorporated neighborhoods. Together they make up an affluent enclave of pricey homes, well-tended lawns and hushed streets, as well as top-notch public schools—although many families choose private schools. Residents praise it for its family-friendliness and charm—as well as its proximity to the nation's capital—and enjoy the convenience of having three Metro stops and downtown Bethesda close by.
