[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, do you guys commute into DC and that's why you want to live in either SS or Bethesda? If not, then i'd actually recommend you go up county. Dcurbanmom's is a biased sample where noone considers any schools outside a 10 mile radius of the district line.

If you work remotely or hybrid, I highly recommend you consider Rockville, parts of Gaithersburg, Boyds or Clarksburg. The schools are pretty good, and it's got as much or more ethnic diversity than Silver Spring. And it's not insanely (or inanely) expensive like Bethesda/CC. You lose easy access to the district, which is a real concern for many, but not for all. Personally, I'm fine with a long commute twice a week in order to save more and get more diversity.  [/quote]

I'm OP-

We currently live in Bethesda and our friends/some family is here. Additionally we already are working with specialists/therapists for the kids here. Access to the District is not a concern.

My spouse is a reluctant driver so we need to live somewhere walkable. We could consider a home somewhere further out if it was walkable to shops, playgrounds, etc. Could you suggest neighborhoods in Rockville, parts of Gaithersburg, Boyds or Clarksburg that would good for a family with a parent who does not drive?[/quote]
