From what I've heard, Maryland is extremely preppy. I think I've heard the same for Connecticut, too.
Depends on where you go. The D.C. suburbs are a mixed bag its a mix of preppy, ghetto, working class, middle class, and the then some. Montgomery county is very preppy around Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Rockville, Olney, Kensington, and perhaps parts of Silver Spring. But there are also parts that are average joe laid back
PG county has preppy people too but on a smaller scale and most of them are black people with $$$ living in Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Mitchellville, and Fort Washington. Baltimore and it's suburbs aren't preppy AT ALL except Towson and wealthier parts of Baltimore city like Federal Hill, Canton, North Baltimore, Otterbein, and Mt. Vernon. Western MD and the Eastern Shore are pretty country wouldn't really call it preppy.
DC more preppy than SF and Seattle??? yeah right.... you've obviously never been to DC before.
The transplant population and most white people in D.C. are very preppy. The native population, most of whom are black aren't exactly preppy, although they do exist. In D.C. it's preppy vs ghetto, about 50/50. No.other city is like that and in D.C. there an aire of southern hue that's reinforced by the fact D.C. is the nations capital and there are unwritten rules here that don't exist anywhere else.

This is why Atlanta and DC have some "people" similarities in my opinion. Similar dynamic.
Any Ivy league college town in say Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut.
*New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
I've honestly never associated prep with anything other than the Northeast. It really began as an Ivy League thing. "Southern prep" and "California prep"… weird to me.
Most all of New England particularly CT and MA down to Westchester Co in NY extending into the old Mainline section of Philadelphia and a few spots NJ. You have to have access to horses and/or boats, better if both. Antiques and grand old houses are important too. Old Southern cities like Annapolis, Charleston, and Savannah, and horse country Virginia. I didn't notice much of it out West when I lived there though I know for a fact individuals with that upbringing can be found most anywhere. It's more than a style of dress.
Forgot to add sections of upper NY around the 1000 Islands, Finger Lakes and coastal Lake Ontario as well as summer residents of the Adirondacks. More common in English ancestry locales.
