I don't think there's an exact equivalent. NR would have elements of Bethesda, Silver Spring and the Arlington Metro corridor neighborhoods. Like Bethesda, NR has some upscale, establishmentarian areas (Wykagel and waterfront areas), like Silver Spring, its very polyglot and mixed-income and has a bit of grit, like Arlington it serves somewhat as a more affordable, close-in, transit-oriented alternative to the core city.
The station will undergo a renovation/expansion in the coming years, so that will be nice. Also, there are a lot of downtown highrise developments planned and Iona University is expanding. A major linear park corridor is also in development.
