[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi!  We are looking to make a move before our DS goes to Kindergarden next year (2015-2016).  Looking for a friendly, close-in Montgomery County neighborhood less than a mile from metro and hopefully walkable to stores, restaurants, etc. . . . We would like a neighborhood where a lot of kids walk to school and where there is an overall friendly atmosphere where neighbors know each other.  Any particular schools/ neighborhoods we should be looking at?

My #1 choice is to be right near Bethesda, NIH or Friendship Heights metros-- anyone live there and find their neighborhood/ block to be particularly friendly and welcoming with lots of elementary school kids?  And love their school?

Thanks for any help![/quote]

The friendly close in walkable stores, restaurants, etc.  puts you in only a couple schools/neighborhoods in the BCC cluster -- Bethesda Elementary, Chevy Chase Elementary, Westbrook and Somerset.  There may also be some parts of Bethesda that feed to Bradley Hills and then Pyle and Whitman.  All 3 schools are good but have different vibes/grade structures/strengths & weaknesses.  For BCC cluster, lots of families are in the area just north/behind BCC, in the Town of Chevy Chase (between Conn and Wisc.), and west of Bethesda.  Also, in ChCh, there are lots of kids/school walkers between Ct. and Brookeville, but I wouldn't really consider that part "walking distance" to a metro.

1.25 million will buy you a house in one of these areas for sure, but you may have to look a little to find the right one, and there will be many that are on sale for far more than 1.25.

I would really suggest you do some school visits/research before you settle on your final area. [/quote]
