Another racist. You voted for Trump, right? They look gorgeous from the outside too! Look at new home prices in Urbana, but that is probably ok since Urbana is more white?

For crying out loud, there are reasons beyond racism that people might not want to live in Gaithersburg. It is far from DC and jobs in DC and Tysons/NoVa for that matter. It is similarly far from most of the attractions that make DC unique and exciting. There aren't many cultural attractions, highly regarded restaurants, or other things that make you say 'wow, I really want to be in Gaithersburg.'

Sorry, if we aren't all as excited about Crown and Rio as you are.

So, people only work in DC and Tysons/NoVa, for that matter? It is fine that you don't care for it, but just be honest why you are so stunned that people are paying that much to live in....Gaithersburg. I bet you have no issue with paying more than that for a house in Potomac, even though the commute is almost as long if not longer(no metro) from some parts? Is it that YOU don't understand that people with money might choose to live there?! Do you believe that MD is the richest state in the Union because of one tiny part of the population that works in DC and Tysons?
1. Maryland
• Median household income: $80,776
• Population: 6,052,177 (19th highest)
• 2017 unemployment rate: 4.1 percent (22nd lowest)
• Poverty rate: 9.3 percent (2nd lowest)

What are you talking about. I'm from Howard County, the richest county in MD. I don't want to live there either. Good people live there, my mom lives there. I just have no interest. Different strokes for different folks.

I guess you’re referring to Bethesda. Because Crown is brand new, no different than Pike and Rose or Bethesda facades. Not sure how one is better when they have same stores, exteriors, etc.

But school assignments and caliber of housing do differ. This house is much nicer than the rundown Bethesda homes, but schools worse in Crown.

isn't pike and rose in rockville



why does everyone who lives in gaithersburg hate bethesda



whose crown is it



can my kid still be a dumbass if he goes to a 9/9/8 school or is he guaranteed to be smart



is it possible he would look smarter in like a 7 school can you specify a 7 school with a good art program because he loves to draw



what if I want my kid to play but only in strip malls but I also want a short commute but I don't have any of the suburbs jobs from the other post because my job is downtown greeter so it has to be downtown can i still live at crown if i only have time for pond walks on weekends

There aren't many cultural attractions, highly regarded restaurants, or other things that make you say 'wow, I really want to be in Gaithersburg.'

Sorry, if we aren't all as excited about Crown and Rio as you are.

I assume most of these 'why would anyone not want to live in DC' posters like you are transplants to the area so you are all pressed to be in D.C. I work in DC, live in MD, and would love a job in MD.

You are helping prove my point. You said you would love a job in MD. The problem is that most jobs aren't in MD. You have decided you are willing to accept the longer commute. Many people aren't and being unwilling to have the longer commute doesn't make you racist.

And I never said I would only live in DC. In fact, I now live in MD, just much closer in than Gaithersburg.

Then why is 270 and 495 always so terrible? Where are these ppl going and coming from if not the suburbs?

The truth is most ppl commute and most ppl move to the suburbs bc you get more for your money. While you might hate driving, 270 in the morning says many, many ppl are willing to deal with the commute.

Most people do not commute to DC.

Most people move to the outer suburbs because they don't like smog, traffic, crime and crazy intense people.

They like green space, hiking trails (on the woods, not on the street like Capital Crescent Trail), neighborhoods and cookouts with friends.

Most commutes here are suburb to suburb.

Most of the STEM/IT/Biotech jobs are all in the suburbs. Same for most of the banking related jobs.

DC's population is dwarfed by the suburbs. MoCo, PG Fairfax are each roughly 50% bigger than DC's population.

It’s so clear neither of you PPs know anything about the traffic or commuting. I commute from Clarksburg to DC. The traffic gets worse at two particular exits (one in Gaithersburg and one in Rockville going toward DC and VA). If most ppl do not commute to DC then why are people saying most of the jobs are in DC. People commute to DC, get over it. You see the Maryland tags throughout DC. Someone said there were no jobs in the suburb and now you are saying there are. Well which is it? If the majority of commutes were suburb to suburb then 270 and 495 wouldn’t be a nightmare. You don’t see a lot of ppl getting off 270, just merging on.

And realize that most ppl are moving to the suburb bc most ppl don’t want to spend a large amount on a small space just to live in the city. DC has green space, trails, neighborhoods, and cookouts. What it doesn’t have is affordable and realistic housing options. That’s what the suburbs have.

"You people" ... um okay. I won't even address that.

So yes people commute. Most people, NO.

I get maybe you're new to this area but, people move here (DC area) for jobs.

Many jobs are in DC, not most not all. Once intelligent get experience they move to where they want to live and get a job close to home. Sorry you aren't there yet.

If everybody or most people commuted you would need 6 more lane.

Address what? The bolded means “previous posters” so maybe you must be new here and to the area but continue to be dense.

Actually, I’ve lived in this area my entire life. So wrong again.

Again, it’s obvious you aren’t from here and do not commute. Get on 270 and 495 during rush hour and then explain to everyone commuting that the reason they are commuting must be bc they aren’t intelligent and experienced in their careers. I choose to commute bc I don’t have a problem with driving like some ppl do. I choose to live in the suburbs bc I wanted more than a 1bd 1ba condo with ridiculous fees or an overpriced sh*tshack. So did many others hence the traffic. If you aren’t commuting then you have no idea what you are talking about. P.s. There have been so many petitions, articles, etc to widen 270 and local lanes.

So take your fake attempt at being passive aggressive and go study the DCUM abbrev (that’s abbreviations in case you don’t understand).

There's a difference between do not commute and do not commute to DC.

I've provided plenty of links and evidence that shows that most people do not commute into DC.

Bumping this thread. I have been curious how these will sell. Still quite a bit of inventory and prices holding steady. Are these things selling at all? Are they offering any incentives?

I live in Gaithersburg (Kentlands). I would never live in Bethesda and no, it’s not jealousy. The downtown area is a glorified mall — not worth the price.

I do love the hatred my city gets. Pretty hilarious. You all think about us a lot more than we think about you.

I feel that way about Kentlands, actually. (No, I don't live in Bethesda.)

It's Gaithersburg, not NYC, SF, or even Boston. For $1.5 mill I better be getting a sfh with a yard if I'm not living downtown. People generally don't like townhomes.

True and they will both supplement and harry the schools into improving. College Gardens comes to mind.

They have both. They have one set of floor plans that's the traditional SFH - yard, basement, etc. They offer another set of floorplans that's more TH style that does not have a basement, but instead, has a rooftop terrace.

You are like the people who pretend not to notice a difference between a Mercedes and a Chevy. Drive your Chevy all you want but it isn’t just as good. You just can’t afford the other. It is worth it if money means a little less to you.

This is so ironic because we actually drive Mercedes cars.

You are so ignorant.

We chose Kentlands because we wanted a walkable neighborhood in a down to earth area. Not everything is a financial decision. We make $400K/year; we could've afforded Bethesda. We didn't want to live there for reasons that have nothing to do with affordability.

I grew up Chappaqua and hated the arrogance of the people there. Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Potomac felt very much like Chappaqua to me. I wanted to raise my family somewhere different.

Comments like yours just reinforce to me that we made the right decision.

Have you been to Kentlands lately? And I don't mean the side with the Giant; I mean main street and market square.
