Small town feel in Montgomery County, MD?

[Anonymous]

Hi, Im moving to the area from a small town in NJ. Our kids have lemonade stands, neighborhood is always out and about walking dogs, strollers, etc. Its been so easy to make friends and meet people. Im wondering if you all can give me suggeestions as to which neighborhoods/areas may have a similar feel? We are transfering my husbands job to downtown DC and targeting Mongtgomery County,MD for relocation. Budget is $680k max. We have two kids prechool age. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

We have that in Clarksburg Village, but it's likely too far of a commute if you're driving into DC every day.

Maybe the Fallsmead neighborhood?

For a real small town feel, I'd say Poolesville. There are several neighborhoods that are friendly and have a bunch of kids, though. but for that small town feel? Poolesville.

You could also look Woodley Gardens in Rockville. Older brick split levels and townhouses. Great little neighborhood.

PP Here: Right now there about 8 kids and just as many parents outside hanging out. It happens just about every night.

Check out the west side of Bethesda: Bannockburn, Glen Echo and Cabin John. Kids with lemonade stands abound! Also, Bannockburn has a lovely tradition of welcoming all new families at an annual Newcomers dinner.
