[quote=Anonymous]It's admirable for the OP to be looking far ahead re. schools (and they do influence home prices), but with 12-year horizon before daughter starts high school, I'd focus on other things because a lot can happen. We've lived in both Kensington (pre-kids) and Bethesda (post-kids, BCC cluster) and loved both neighborhoods. Both have great elementary schools (we heard great things about Kensington Parkwood ES), and I'd focus on the next 8 years were I in the OP's shoes. Things I didn't realize when I moved - ability to walk to ES, in neighborhoods with lots of kids within walking distance, neighborhood pool, etc. - where things that made the most difference to our kids. Again, assuming that the ES is good. In Kensington, we found ourselves spending much more time in Wheaton (has a great county partk/facilities, much more diverse) than Bethesda; opposite now is true.[/quote]
