[quote=Anonymous]I live in Kensington and LOVE it. The neighbors are wonderful, it feels like an oasis.  I like that I can drive to Bethesda easily and do everything there, but then I get to go home and not deal with Bethesda. If you are in the Kensington-Parkwood/WJ cluster, you will be fine in 10 years with resale value. Resale is dicier in Kensington Heights and "North Kensington" aka Wheaton, but if you are in Town Of Kensington or anywhere in Parkwood district you are making a good bet.

It takes DH 45 minutes to get to downtown (front door to garage in his building). When we rented in Bethesda, on average, his commute was 5-10 minutes shorter, so, a gain of 20 minutes max per day, which he wasn't bothered by enough to pay to live in Bethesda.

With House #2, you would have to pay $40k more PLUS a kitchen reno, which will cost you WAY more than you think.

Downside to Kensington house - only 3 bedrooms. Is there a den or other smaller room that could be used as a guest bedroom/office/escape? We have 3 BR and would LOVE to have 4. That is the only thing we don't love about our house.
