Map 28

This extremely wealthy pocket of upper northwest DC and suburban Maryland is green, well manicured and lily white—reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell cross-stitch. It’s picture-perfect in spring when cherry blossoms drop pink petals all over your car, and drivers obey the 30 mph speed limit on Connecticut or get caught by the camera. And no, the town is not named for the star of Fletch.
