| Need 3 bed / 2 bath. Could do TH or even condo. Yard not important (especially if near park). Prefer urban amenities (walk to decent pub, cafe, dry cleaner, market). Many thanks in advance for suggestions! |

| Takoma Park has a great ES and MS. Blair HS is mixed, depending on whether you take honors and AP or do the magnet or CAP, however if you live in Takoma you can participate in the Downcounty Consortium of high schools, which is a lottery. |

Agree on Kensington. This house has been on the market forever (and it's a short sale, so don't know the headache involved), but we're in this neighborhood and it fits all of your criteria:

Woodside, north woodside or woodside park near downtown silver spring, there are houses under and over your budget so don't let people say it's too expensive. Woodlin ES is great, Sligo MS., and Einstein HS.
The eastern part of Rosemary Hills might be ckose enough to the SS metro. That would put you in the BCC cluster. |

Parkview in Bethesda.
1 mile to Red Line, 270, and the Beltway 2 Miles to Marc Rock Creek Park and 2 playgrounds < 1/2 mile Prices straddle $580-$680 lately depending on the model, and condition. The one thing missing is the walk to the pub, dry cleaner, etc, but even some of the previously mentioned neighborhoods are missing the same. |
