[quote=Anonymous]I live in Bowie, MD. (20716, but close to 20715.)

I find Bowie to be very safe and family friendly. You do need to consider the schools, but the elementary schools are good in several neighborhoods. I believe Whitehall and tulip grove elementary schools rank very highly on great schools. Heather hills is now a TAG school but gets 10/10 on great schools. Kenilworth elementary is I believe 7/10, but the school is improving and the PTA recently funded an outdoor classroom for that school which is pretty neat. I'd avoid the pointer ridge neighborhood though, personally. It's not that it's terrible or unsafe, but it isn't one of the better neighborhoods and the elementary school does not do well. Property crime (theft) seems to be higher there too. I believe the MS and HS will improve if families make use of the schools instead of instantly putting their kids in private. Plus, as the students in the current ES's move into the upper schools they seem likely to improve, especially with the new superintendent who did a lot to turn around the schools in the last county he was in.

Allen pond park is great, there's plenty of shopping and such nearby. There's a park and ride for free parking to catch metro bus to new Carrollton. I find living here very convenient and enjoyable.[/quote]
