This is a nice area but the yards are no where near half an acre.

I agree these would be good neighborhoods. The yards are large in Luxmanor and there are a lot of gorgeous new construction homes around there. Very good public schools too. That area is technically Rockville or "North Bethesda" as people who want it to sound fancy call it. The zipcode is 20852.

We are specifically moving for two private schools in Bethesda.

No need to be so rude.

You should also look at Howard County, which has the best schools in the state.[/quote

And Howard has the highest taxes.

Glen Echo heights area will get you access to not only the best public high school in the DC area but also the best middle school too. It also a breeze to get to the American legion bridge off of Clara Barton which will be a sanity savor when dealing with beltway traffic that having to go the last little bit to 270 is always miserable. Look in 20816

Is the Frederick parent needing to drive the kids in on their way to work? Is the other parent SAH or dropping en route to somewhere?

Finally are the schools close in (WES, Sidwell.lower, Concord Hill etc . . .) or further out?
