[quote=Anonymous][quote]It is entirely a residential community. Travaille Gateway aside (which I think is in 20850 anyway) is not very large. NP lacks any of the lower income housing or even apartments that you can find in Gaithersburg. It lacks the bling of Potomac. The house on this thread is on the large extreme end of the spectrum. NP is filled with mid-sized SFH on medium lots. It has some larger houses on 2 acre lots but nut the 4,000 sq ft + type. It has a few very big houses on Glen and Travilah. It has townhouses in StoneMill.

Its kid friendly. There is some diversity beyond the basic WASP with a good sized Jewish, Indian, and Chinese community. There seem to be lots of PHds, science types, doctors, etc but not too many big firm lawyers or lobbyists. No one dresses flashy. You can wear Target to the PTA meeting and fit in just fine.

The schools are good. Swimming is the big teenager sport. [/quote]

[quote]I have no problem with North Potomac and don't think any ill of the people who live there. It is too far out for me, but a perfectly nice community and seems like a great place for a family. But, PP, you just pointed out why the Bethesda crowd hates on NP and likes to play the elitist game. [/quote]

The great irony here is that Bethesda and Potomac are also Census Designated Places (CDP) just like North Potomac. We can all claim that all of Bethesda is just really Rockville. This would freak them out.

Gaithersburg is a city. NP residents are not considered part of Gaithersburg city. If you want to take a class through the city of Gaithersburg you have to wait for the non-resident sign up. [/quote]
