[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord. You should live on the Hill. And do exactly what you’re proposing - Marc train to fort Meade station. The elementary schools are great and it is charming and walkable. It is absolutely fantastic for young families, and you’re good to middle school.[/quote]

OP here - is the “good lord” because of responses to live in MD? Hopefully not w/r/t my wish list. I really don’t know much about MD but I have been to the area around Ft Meade and it was … the exact opposite of where we live now and would like to raise our young family. Very sprawling suburbia. For context, I’m referring to the area near Arundel Mills.[/quote]

PP here - the good lord was for the people implying you can’t live east of rock creek park if you care about your kid and don’t want your kindergartner to get knifed at recess. We live on the Hill and have friends who used to live in Hoboken. Knowing what you are looking for in terms of type of community to raise your kid, you will absolutely hate living near Fort Meade. I hear the other posters in that the MARC train is not the gold standard for commuter trains in terms of frequency and weird weather issues, and that if your husband drove, 295 traffic would be crappy even though he’d be commuting out of the city. You know him best and what he’ll tolerate but agreed he has some commute time coming to him if you live in the city. But assuming you as a family are genuine about wanting to live somewhere that feels a little bit similar (and that he’s cool with the commute time it will take), you absolutely should live close to a MARC station, and taking that plus the type of neighborhood you want, the right answer is Union Station and living nearby for one of the good elementary schools. FWIW, we picked this area because we wanted something that felt similar to Rittenhouse Square in Philly, where we lived before, and we’ve been happy with the choice. [/quote]
