[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I currently own a condo in Bethesda and our child is a toddler. We are looking at buying a home, but are certainly priced out of our current neighborhood. We've looked in Rockville, Potomac, North Potomac and Gaithersburg, but have just expanded the search to Olney. It seems like a lovely place - the homes we've seen tend to be well maintained. My experience in Potomac and Rockville has been somewhat the opposite. We are both professionals. My husband works downtown; I work in Rockville/Bethesda. We are Jewish. Our priority is to find a home in a good school cluster with other young professional families and a Jewish population. I'd love feedback on the town of Olney, as we really know less about it than the other areas we've been searching. Also, any specific thoughts on Brooke Grove Elementary are welcome. According to GreatSchools, it's ranked a 7. I'm curious to hear parent experiences/thoughts. Thank you![/quote]

My girlfriend is Jewish and lived in Brookeville for 15 years - essentially Olney.  Her neighborhood had a good sized Jewish population from what she's told me in the past.  And there's a synagogue very close by that seems to have a fairly large congregation.

Her DH worked in Bethesda and made the commute on a daily basis.  The drive was not fun but that was before the ICC.  I understand that traffic has gotten a lot better since the opening of the ICC- which has eased a great deal of the burden on Georgia.

The area has grown tremendously.  A lot of good retail and restaurants.  And people that live there seem to really love it.

Good Luck OP![/quote]
