| Chevy Chase near the Silver Spring border off East West Highway. |

| Are you looking to rent or buy? What's your budget? |

| We'd like to buy ideally. Budget 500K-600K. 600K would be a bit of a stretch. Any nice single families in that range? |

North Potomac or Zip code 20878, good schools and THs are around $385K.
Clarksburg MD has newer TH, SFH and new schools that are really nice. Long commute though Silver Spring looks nice/exciting and like the metro system, but not too sure about schools. Maybe Kensignton, MD? |

| You say SAHP "for the time being". Will that parent want metro access when they go back to work or want to be close to a certain area? |

Metro access would be nice, but not a necessary part of our daily routine.
Thanks for the recommendations so far. We were hoping to be closer in, but it may not be realistic atm. |

| North Chevy Chase or Kensington |

| You want to be closer in than Silver Spring/Kensington/North Chevy Chase? |

No sorry. Meant to quote. Closer than Clarksburg/North Potomac. Bethesda would be great, but way out of our range for a SFH. We're not as familiar with the schools in Kensington, but I will look them up. |

North Chevy Chase is not really possible at less than $600K. Rock Creek Forest is definitely possible, though. |

| North Potomac is bull shit . It's called Gaithersburg. |

Do you have family money or significant savings? Otherwise, that's a high house price for that income. |

We've got savings. And hopefully a higher HHI in a few years when I start working again..
