[quote=Anonymous]11:41 here again. I should also mention that real estate prices in the eastern part of MoCo are much cheaper than in the Rockville/N. Bethesda area. Some 3-4BR SFHs start in the $300K range. You could easily pay double for a similar home (and double the property taxes) in the N. Bethesda/Rockville area. If you are thinking that the public schools are better in N. Bethesda/Rockville than they are on the eastern side of Montgomery County, you are probably right. However, those public schools have 26 students per class in Kindergarten, and the classroom size rises quickly from there. if you pay $2,000/month less for your mortgage and taxes to live in an area where the schools aren't rated as highly, you would have that money to spend on a private school with smaller class sizes and choose your own school at virtually the same cost to you as living in a pricier area (and your kids needing to attend a school you may not end up liking anyway).

To sum it up, on the eastern side of MoCo, you pay half for daycare, half for housing, and you can look at your decision as a "win" for school choice.[/quote]
