[quote=Anonymous]We looked in that price range about two years ago (before deciding not to buy and boy are we happy because our commutes would have sucked if we moved to that area).

Anyway, we looked in the following areas in the following order:

1. Takoma Park - then we discovered we could really only afford the PG part of Takoma Park which is further away and starts to feel a little run down near New Hampshire Ave.
2. Forest Glen area - then we discovered there is no easy way to get there.  Georgia Avenue is the worst street ever, and that part of Georgia Ave. is totally gridlocked all the time.  And the cheapest houses back right up to the beltway which is noisy!
3. Kensington - until we realized that we were actually pretty far away from the city and our commutes would seriously suck b/c the only way in and out of Kensington is Connecticut Ave. and honestly it feels kind of remote, there's nothing close by.
3.5 Wheaton which our real estate agent said was still Kensington, but um no, it was Wheaton and had the same "far away" issue as Kensington.
