[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't care about schools, any part of Columbia is great. Merriweather has a ton of options to eat out now. Columbia has a vast trail system to run and HoCo striders is great if your looking for a group. Commute to Baltimore is not bad, but the closer you get to Baltimore, the further you get from DC. If you care about schools, I'd look in the River Hill or Centennial school districts. Marriotts ridge is a good school too, but its in the boonies for those that need to commute.[/quote]

Nonsense, the schools in Columbia are good as well. You just named the three high schools in HoCo with the lowest number of students from poor families. And yeah, living in Columbia and sending your kids to Atholton &gt; living in the Marriotts Ridge district in some cheap McMansion next to cow poop smelling farmland and being 1 hr+ from civilization.[/quote]

Funny. I always thought Columbia had really crappy badly built housing. The stuff built by Rouse in the 70s and 80s is aging badly. Ellicott City and Clarksville is a notable step up.

Columbia doesn't have the best schools in HoCo = straight from the mouth of the head of planning at Howard County government to me at a conference.

OP would be better moving to either downtown Baltimore or staying in DC and commuting. Not clear where the offices are for her or her spouse as they make all the difference.[/quote]
