Middle of nowhere, dated and close to the rock quarry-perfect!!

Plus 1, I note that it's also proximate to the long distance high tension power lines. In sum, no place for this family with four kids.

Stay closer in for resale potential, and towards the east to make your commute easier. And with 4 kids, look for homes with 3 bathrooms upstairs.

With four kids, you need 5 bedrooms.

Maybe Silver Spring? Then , the downtown commuter is still on the redline and the Columbia one is east ?

Well not if your kids are climbing power lines, otherwise it's fine. The drop off from the power lines is too high for any concern.

How about the cancer risk from the electromagnetic fields, not to mention the hideous and totally unsightly power lines? Say goodbye to resale, too.

I don't think CC schools are much differnt from Whitman or Churchill. But any minor tradedown is negligble IMO and made up for by the walkability of the neighborhood, and for many, better commuting options. All three optiopns are strong; just depnds on what's most important.
