[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are great tips. Thank you all. I will check out the neighborhoods in the coming year, we are planning to move spring 2013.

I want to have a short list to focus on.

One more question, it's about schools. I know most people are very happy with their elementary schools on the east side of the county, but what about the middle schools and high schools? Any thoughts?[/quote]

We live in Kensington right near Oakland Terrace elementary and really like it. The school is a gem for its great principal and happy, excited children from a wide variety of different places. In that area and the rest of what's considered Kensington Heights, you can walk to the the little "downtown" Kensington, MARC, lots and lots of parks, etc. It's true that the middle and high schools are in transition. I believe this is because the run-up in housing costs in the last 10 years have made these neighborhoods a lot wealthier than they used to be, and this is slowly causing a ripple effect of more well-off and involved parents in the schools. But if you really need wealthy middle and high schools right now, the Town of Kensington and the Kensington Parkwood area are part of the north Bethesda schools, and the housing prices are much higher.[/quote]
