Seriously? You are truly kidding yourselves.

We don't sit in traffic on 270 or 355 etc. on our daily commutes. That's why our land sans house is valued > than many N potomac homes. Location. Location. Location. Can't think of the last time wev went out to dinner in N Potomac either. Not saying there aren't nice and $$ homes, but not comparable.

Trust me, if you live in Bethesda or Chevy Chase you're sitting in traffic as well. I don't buy that bs. Even if you live in DC you sit in traffic! And who uses a gps to determine if a place exists or not???? I can't even count how many times have I have punched in an address in my gps and the area allegedly "doesn't exist" even though it is actually there.

Nope. I live in Bethesda. Easy commutes for both DH and myself. Sorry to disappoint you! Dream on.

Ten minutes flat right??? Liar

Jealous? Liar.

The non-million dollars homes in Potomac are really Rockville homes with a Potomac zip.

Like Park Potomac right off of 270 & Montrose? NOT POTOMAC.

Realtor here with a brand new GPS as of Christmas. It did not find a house I had to show off Route 28 using Darnestown or North Potomac - I had to enter Gaithersburg.

Gaithersburg isn't off of Route 28. If you knew anything about Montgomery County you would know that as would your outdated GPS.

Realtors do not brand cities... sorry. Montgomery County is FULL of unincorporated "towns", they are still considered towns or cities, not "neighborhoods. Germantown is a city, not a neighborhood. Bethesda is a city, not just a neighborhood. Potomac, as well as NORTH Potomac, CITY....

I would never ever ever hire you to help me purchase a home. You'd end up selling me White Flint Mall and trying to tell me it was in Kensington!

You know that Route 28 goes practically across the entire county, right? It would be impossible for Route 28 to NOT go through Gaithersburg. From the Route 28 Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Route_28 "By contrast, the eastern portion of the state highway is a major east–west commuter route, particularly within Gaithersburg and Rockville."

And White Flint Mall has the same ZIP code as Kensington - 20895. It only recently started self-identifying as "North Bethesda, MD 20895." Which is funny because as PP said North Bethesda's existence has actually gotten more official since the opening of the conference center, but its zip code is 20852.

Um, I'm a 36 year old MoCo resident. Born & bred here. Not sure where in Gburg you get Route 28... I see it over in Rockville, down by Shady Grove (not Gaithersburg btw), then down on off into Poolesville & Darnestown.

Please STOP quoting Wiki. Wiki is for morons who can't site actual references.

Where do you live "Um?" Do you actually speak like that? Just wondering.

Yes, I do say "UM"... Is that against DCUM law?

You guys are really dating yourselves. I have been here for 15 years and have always known the area you are referencing to be called North Potomac. And anyone from this area with half of a brain knows that North Potomac is not an area in the northern part of Potomac, Maryland. North Potomac does not have the multimillion dollar mansions you see in Potomac but there are some gorgeous homes in the area, many of the homes are zoned for Wootton High School and the residents in that area are highly educated. Just google some the houses for sale in the area.

Muddy Branch Rd. intersection up a little past Quince Orchard. All of that part of Route 28 is Gaithersburg.

Kentlands is North Potomac as is Dufief which I believe are both off of Route 28 *before* Quince Orchard but after Muddy Branch, no?

And it's "cite" actual references, not "site."

You should not be calling anyone a moron.
