[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also worth exploring the Turf Valley neighborhood in Ellicott City (near Marriottsville/West Friendship). If you are only commuting once a week then this could be doable. It is a quieter neighborhood located on a golf community and there are a lot of new construction homes in your price range. The schools are generally well regarded and it's a family friendly neighborhood. You are close enough to Columbia to access those activities (i.e. merriweather, columbia mall, clark ellioak farm) but you wouldn't be apart of the Columbia association for pools and gyms etc. There are a few restaurants sprinkled around the area that are nice but can get repetitive. You would also be relatively close (30 minutes) from Frederick which is a lovely town with cute boutiques, restaurants, and seasonal events/festivals. [/quote]

Ah. PP who just said Ellicott City or Clarksville, didn't see this. Turf Valley is quite nice and has terrific schools, and the little built-in shopping center has all the essentials. It is also less than 15 minutes to the historic downtown, which is really adorable and has a lot of festivals, etc. My vote would be if you can snatch up one of the houses walking distance to Main Street, do that.

Ellicott City is suburbia but suburbia with a lot going on, mostly geared toward families. It can be a nice fit for a certain phase of life. (Though others would be bored to tears.)

On the plane commute...to each their own, but adding on the hassle of security, etc. would be a bit of a drag for me. For 1x a week, I'd rather a long train ride. [/quote]
