[quote=Anonymous]NP  here. I would never buy a house in  Kentlands or Lakelands either. We looked several times but each time came away with no way. Its fun ti visit, but live there no way.

1. It has a strange vibe. Its not urban but its too crowded and busy. Its not low end but its not high end either. Lots of restaurants but none of them are good. It reminded me of an outlet mall or one of those shopping plazas out in VA. Its great to go to one or have one close by but I wouldn't want to live in one.

2. The houses always seemed over priced compared to the area. This is generally a risky investment.

3. Everyone has complaints and compliments about where they live but complaints that I had heard from Kentlands residents made us really pause. HOA is a nightmare. Its like living in a PTA meeting or event. No escape from everyone. Too gossipy. Too loud and crowded.

4. The house layouts are all off. Either the rooms are all designed to be just a few ft too small for normal furniture or there is some HOA requirement to purchase super large furniture for every room. Every house we saw had very little flow space around the furniture. Detached garages with the climate here doesn't make sense. Who wants to live in a pink or purple house?

5. The best is the faux lake and premium for lakefront. Mosquitos and nat breeding grounds.

6. Too public. There are lots of fun events at the Kentlands but there is also tons of parking. I really enjoy block parties but block parties with the entire Gaithersburg, North Potomac, and Rockville area coming to my neighborhood is different. [/quote]
