[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Rockville and Gaithersburg are your best options for solid schools and not having to change trains with the former being the best commute compromise. Moving inwards, you might keep an eye on Kensington, if you can do the MARC train thing, which is very charming, although the highschool used to not be so well regarded. (Though, take it with a grain of salt - "not so well regarded" in the context of MoCo.) If you can make MARC work, you could also have a gander at further out in Howard and Anne Arundel counties. If you have to do a driving commute into town, ever, 295 to rte 50 stinks but isn't as awful at 270/495.[/quote]

Kensington real estate spans three school clusters - WJ, BCC and Einstein. The area around the MARC train and Kensington Parkwood is part of the WJ cluster. Rock Creek Hills is part of the BCC cluster. The area north of the Safeway on CT Ave is part of the Einstein cluster. Not sure you'd be able to find anything for 400k in the BCC or WJ cluster. The part of Rock Creek Hills east of the Mormon temple is the cheapest. The part of the WJ cluster that's probably cheapest is the area around Kensington Parkwood elementary school.[/quote]
