Where is the best area to live in Bethesda for young professionals?|110168

I will be moving to Bethesda, MD following graduation from college in the summer. Being a 22 year old, I am looking for an area in Bethesda that has a relatively decent night life. Between Downtown Bethesda and North Bethesda, which offers a better living environment for younger individuals?

Downtown Bethesda is much better: easier to walk around, lots of restaurants, an active downtown. But it_s going to cost you: it_s more expensive than north Bethesda.
