I know that the Montgomery County has good schools but that's pretty much all I know (I don't have kids yet and I wasn't raised in the area) They don't want an area that is too "urban. Basically they are looking for an area with good schools and nice big houses -their budget is 1.2 million max.

you made two threads for this??

At least three, actually.

I think Howard County sounds best for what they're looking for-have them look at Clarksville, Glenelg.

expensive homes - especially in the River Hill cluster
excellent schools, however! You get what you pay for.

We moved for the schools - from SS to an area past Ashton.

West Bethesda is not too urban and you can get large houses for $1.1-1.4m depending on age. Look on Redfin in Mohican hills, wood acres, bannockburn, kenwood hills, cabin john, etc. The community pool culture is great too.

They key to get one at $1.2m will be that it will probably be a 1980s or 1990s build, revisited. New builds go for more.

Revisited = renovated.

Nothing that's more than 4500 SF for less than $1.2M any closer than Potomac. I checked.

Why anyone wants to live in a 4500 sq ft house is beyond me -- unless you're a family 10!!

There are several homes in that price range and under in 20854. Is that not Potomac?

Here is a Potomac home in the price range I saw when running.

Look at River Falls, close in Potomac.
When you get far out in Germantown and Gaithersburg, the school quality drops a little.

There are three homes for sale in Potomac for under $1.2 million that are at least 4500 SF and on at least half an acre, Which is what I think OP's friend is looking for. When you remove those two qualifiers, there are 68 single-family homes for sale in Potomac for less than $1.2M. I think that PP is overestimating her neighborhood.
