Bethesda, Maryland is an upscale, walkable D.C. suburb with a lively downtown full of restaurants, coffee shops, galleries and live music at Strathmore, plus scenic trails and parks perfect for after-work runs or weekend exploring—ideal if you’ll be based there for weeks. Reliable transit (Metro Red Line) and proximity to major hospitals keep commutes short and convenient for travel clinicians.
A short ride into Washington, D.C. delivers world-class museums, dining and nightlife, and Baltimore is also reachable for waterfront attractions and a different urban vibe.
