DP. In terms of enthusiastic boosterism - or so I infer from posts on DCUM.

Maybe he/she meant that it’s 40th best in the state? Seems about right.

Outside of town people don't know, because there's a pact to bury the bodies locally and sell the houses to benefit the survivors, as long as the death was honorable and in service of the tribe. It's all very ritualized with swords and daggers so sometimes scores can be settled without fatalities, but lately tensions have gotten worse and Lake Nirvana is tinged red but not for any sort of holiday celebration sponsored by the citizen's association. If you catch my drift.

This is beautiful. You summarized the suburban hell isotope so well. Close in VA (Mc something) has the same vibe. No thanks.

OP, sometimes this happens when a developments original owners age out at about the same time. Not sure that this pertains here, but could try well be the case.

There are 14 listings out of 3,000 houses. How is that a ton of listings?

Once you have some work experience you can get jobs in the burbs, get out of soul sucking DC and join the land of the living.

Yes, that’s my dream as a lawyer: To work at a shitty 5-person law firm in the suburban hinterlands of Kentlands, with UMD and University of Baltimore grads

Why couldn't you? You could always buy a house in Kentlands/Lakelands. We visited many houses there but didn't like them and passed.
Actually, there are fewer houses on the market right now compared to 3 or 4 years ago when we were looking.

There were lots of listings during the great recession, not so many now that we can afford to look!

have you guys considered that all the top 10 high schools are probably functionally the same? your kid is fine. these neighborhoods have a gross feeling because you make them gross by living there and talking loudly in the cookie cafe about US News High School Rankings while your kid is smoking weed and hating your guts in your detached garage.
