Man, not outdated at all, right?! Plus the schools are ranked lower than the ones in Gaithersburg, so that’s awesome. But you’re on CT Ave, so that’s what’s important, right?

I should specify, they’re ranked lower than the ones that feed from Lakelands and Kentlands. Wilson HS is unranked on US News.

I live in a SFH in Cleveland Park and my children attend the Cathedral Schools (within walking distance). I’m happy that your super-sized schools in the outer burbs are highly ranked on some scale. However, public schools were never part of the deal when we considered where to move. Our focus was on convenience, city amenities and proximity to schools that provide the best education possible—for us that was never going to be any public school in the DC Metro region.

We also bought our home in 2008. Our house is now valued at $350,000 more than we paid for it. Enjoy your life in Gaithersburg, as I’m enjoying my life in DC.

Cool story, bro. DC was barely gentrified in 2008, so no one is surprised about that sort of increase. That’s what happens when a city starts to become inhabitable. I’ve lived in the DMV since 2005, and only moved out to what you consider Hicksville in 2016. Before that I lived in DC. Let’s hope you never have to consider public schools there because they’re horrible. I used to work in DCPS so I know.

Also, “some scale” = US News.

Cleveland Park was “barely gentrified” in 2008? Mmmkay.

US News ranks public high schools? Who knew and who cares besides people who can only afford public school?

You are so massively ignorant.

The overall gentrification of DC impacted housing prices even in historically more affluent areas.

I went to private school and care about public school. Unlike you, I consider private school an option only if public school doesn’t work out. We can afford it but won’t default to it.

And you are massively insecure. No one cares about the soul sucking commute, overcrowded schools, track homes, or Olive Gardens in Gaithersburg except you...and the others who have to live out there.

When my son shadowed at your school all boys said they hated it and not to come. A few left since. I'm guessing it's the atmosphere the parents create not the actual school. Thanks for showing me what they are talking about.

Enjoy your Applebee's in DC, Gaithersburg does not have an Olive Garden, nor do they have a Applebee's.

We choose to live here and you are one of the reasons. You clearly are missing a soul.

Exactly. We didn’t bring this topic up. Someone started the topic with a false premise—there are not more listings in this neighborhood than there used to be—and you chose to come on and trash where we live. Don’t you have better things to do with your weekend in your highly superior neighborhood?

[Anonymous]

Also it’s TRACT home, and do you know where those also exist? WASHINGTON DC. What do you think all the townhouses are?! They’re subdivision tract homes! That’s why they all look the same!

You know that DC doesn’t have an Applebee’s or Olive Garden. DC doesn’t have a Red Lobster either, but Gaithersburg does, so you enjoy that “fine dining” experience.

The Kentlands/Lakelands blood feud is ranked #4 in the region but #1 is Hatfield/McCoy and you have to be born into the families. Plus the time commute is awful.

DC people, enjoy your ruby Tuesday and fuddruckers. Don’t act like it’s all fine dining.

The problem is that none of it is fine dining in Gaithersburg/Kentlands/Whateverlands.

Btw, there are no Ruby Tuesdays or Fuddruckers in DC anymore. DC has its fair share of terrible, hole in the wall restaurants. However, if you’re going to attempt to be insulting, please name the correct mediocre restaurants.

That's ridiculous. There are plenty of good restaurants in the Gaithersburg area (though not, currently, specifically in the Kentlands shopping center).
