[quote=Anonymous]Just a heads up - you're coming into a hot real estate market where prices sky-rocketed during the pandemic. 700K won't get you very much.

Check out Redfin and look at all the available houses in the areas you're interested in. Then drive to all the likely ones and see if the street, neighborhood and commute work for you.

I take it you want the public schools. How old is your high schooler? Did they go to an American school? No language barrier? The schools you mention are fine, but public high schools in MCPS are very large and they might be intimidating for students used to more intimate schools, especially if they also come from a different instructional method. High schools offer a variety of AP classes, and some offer IB classes. Check out what various high schools offer, in case one in particular seems more interesting and you decide to preferentially look for a house in that cluster. Also verify graduation requirements, and make sure your high schooler can either get them all in, or have some sort of waiver, if they're close to graduation.

I don't know what kind of environment you're coming from, but students have acted a bit restless at all age levels this school year, after the chaos of virtual schooling. There have been discipline problems. But hopefully everything will calm down in the months to come.
