| I will only recommend those I know with good public schools and thus resale value. Calvert County - Owings and Dunkirk (Northern High School); and Anne-Arundel County - Davidsonville and Edgewater (South River HS). I'd also look at the strong Howard County school system. |

OP you need to be more specific about budget.
Starter home lioke 500-600K or like just under 1m? People on DCUM will fall into both camps so your advice will be all over the map. |

365k |
| Condo. You won't get a house within commuting distance to DC (or even Rockville or Gaithersburg) foe $375k |
Wheaton and Silver Spring. |
You can aspen hill, silver spring. |
Not everyone want’s Bethesda. |
Aspen Hill/Rockville PP here. Our SFH was $700k. So, unlikely. |
No, you cannot get a SFH in Aspen Hill, Silver Spring or Wheaton for $375k in the year 2025. |
| Randolph Hills in Rockville/North Bethesda-but it will be 500000-650000 |
Agree. I bought my house for $350k in Takoma Park... 25 years ago. |
| You really need to look in Prince George’s county for a starter house around that price. Look a bit further outside of the Route 1 corridor like Hollywood neighborhood in CP, Lewisdale, Adelphi, and Riverdale |
$379K https://www.redfin.com/MD/Silver-Spring/3005-Newton-St-20902/home/10988127 |
Starter home implies you are going to be able to live in it after you buy it. If your home budget is $375k, a house you are buying at that price needs to be livable as is. Something tells me that this house is being sold as a tear down. We will see when the full listing goes live. |
