ugh this thread is going to turn into the second coming of the mt prospect thread...it's going to be an ever-present bump with questions that should be posed directly to the toll agents...unless it's the toll agents replying to each other on dcum as an additional marketing stream...

hopefully prices in half a dozen years don't make me regret not buying more

In six years, everyone who bought into this development will be terribly underwater. Only in this manic market would people buy SFHs at $2.2 million or more, with an insane HOA fee on top, in the middle of nothing with a terrible commute to the jobs that they'll have to go in everyday to.

lol - this has to have been written by a TB/Amalyn sales rep. Toll Brothers is known for their shoddy construction

You have confidence in your crystal ball, apparently. Long-term trends in real estate might suggest a different outcome, even if not one of outsize gains.

What are they HOA fees? It is kind of nice that they have a pool on site. I wonder if the pool will solely be recreational or will have some of the benefits that a pool club might have- summer swim team, etc. I noticed in this area it is common to join a pool club but will this pool replace that need?

the website looks nice but as people are saying, It really sells downtown bethesda and bethesda row as "close". Until I realized the location, I was wondering where did they find the space for something like this close-in.

Someone on this board reported $400/month. Just remember that is the teaser amount that the builder is using to lure people in.

What is your price range? That area is practically Rockville, so I’d presonally expand my search there rather than spend this much for a townhome.

What???
Are you crazy??
That is across from WJ high school and definitely NOT practically Rockville.

I live in Rockville, and you'd never mistake it for being almost Rockville. 🙄

Depends on your definition of quick - nothing is move in ready, they are in the early stages of building!
