[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly, the PP has never been to Derwood, we are not McMansionized but we do have nice big yards with lots of open space yet very close to Metro.[/quote]

The original poster mentioned looking for a home in a "new neighborhood" at Bowie Mill and Muncaster Mill.  Bowie Mill is the definition of McMansions![/quote]

parts closer to Rockville, yes

But with the exception of Norbeck Grove, most of the homes are "normal."[/quote]
Norbeck Grove is actually in Olney. Not Derwood.[/quote]

Do your research.  It's a stone's throw away.  We actually looked at home that was REZONED from Magruder to Sherwood.

I lived in Olney.  I have friends in Derwood.  I know the area, and as a teacher am familiar with the schools.  [/quote]

If the owners told you it was rezoned they were in error.  There have been no boundary changes between Magruder and Sherwood.  [/quote]

Real estate told us.  Parts of Norbeck Grove are closer to the Derwood area.  They cut the lines all the time.[/quote]

Sorry, they don't cut the lines all the time.  The Sherwood/Magruder boundary has been fixed for quite some time with the Norbeck Grove kids attending Olney ES.  Someone is feeding you bad information.  [/quote]

IF you add an address to this site - http://gis.mcpsmd.org/gis/Publiclocator.asp - which is Mo Co's school boundary page, and if nothing comes up, there is a boundary issue.  Bluebell Lane, which is in Norbeck Grove, but farther down, was zoned for Magruder.  If you type in an address (using an actual house number), no schools come up.

. . . whereas if you type in another address, you'll see a list of schools into which the house feeds[/quote]
