Hi all,

I’m getting a new job in Baltimore city, and my family(with two school age kids and currently in new England area) and I are deciding between two areas to settle down: Montgomery County (looking specifically at Rockville or North Potomac) and Howard County in Maryland.
Each option has its pros and cons I can think of:

Montgomery County: Excellent public schools, closer to Washington, DC, which is a plus since my family would love to spend more time exploring the city

Downsides: higher housing prices and a much longer commute to my office near Baltimore(the new job requires 3 days in the office)

Howard County: Much closer to my office, meaning a more manageable commute, More affordable housing

Downsides: farther from DC.

My wife works from home, so both locations works well for her. Our household income allows us to afford a home in the $800K–$1M range(1m is a little strech).

We’d really appreciate any advice, experiences, or perspectives—especially from families who’ve faced a similar decision. School quality, community feel, and quality of life are all important to us.

Thanks in advance![/quote]
