[quote=Anonymous]I live in the Twinbrook neighborhood and really love it. I think for the $300-350 price range, you can't get much better for a SFH with a yard. We like the playgrounds and people in the neighborhood, the ability to walk or bike to metro, and the accessibility to local shopping and restaurants, including the Rockville Town Center. The residents of Twinbrook are quite a mix -- some of the houses are permanent rentals but many are owned by long-time residents or by younger couples with kids. Overall, it is a safe area and no problem for a woman to walk around alone or for kids to play outside. Another note about the potential for the neighborhood is that there is a lot of effort being put into developing the area around the Twinbrook metro. There are already several buildings associated with HHS and NIH, but there is a plan (already underway) to add more mixed use housing/shopping on both sides of the station. I think that this will continue to support the Twinbrook area and keep it vital.

I cannot personally speak to the education at Twinbrook Elementary, but when we did our research as our child approached school age, we heard many positive comments from parents who had children there. As it turns out, we entered the immersion lottery and our child got at spot a Maryvale. Although I don't know what the English/neighborhood classes are like at Maryvale, I can say that the school always seems calm and well run when I stop by in the middle of the day and all of my interactions with the principal and the teachers that I've met have been very positive so far.
