[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in University Park for nearly a decade and like PG County a lot.  Less crowded metro trains, easy access to parks and the Bay, diverse community.  I am white but have always lived in towns and city neighborhoods that are racially and economically diverse and I like being in a "majority minority" county.  Public transportation is good, the arts options are growing, and there are many lifelong locals still living here who make it feel like a real community.

The only thing I will say is that the schools are not good: even the top-tier elementary school here is comparable to the bottom 1/2 of Montgomery County schools, and the middle schools and high schools are just bad (with the exception of one highly competitive magnet program).  Kids weren't on the radar when we moved here or we might have prioritized space and neighborhood less and settled for something smaller in Silver Spring.  However, we only have one daughter so it's feasible for us to send her to a local private school; with more kids I'd be hesitant unless you knew you were planning to go private.[/quote]
