[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small, cramped, outdated houses on tiny lots, houses crammed too close together, impossibly narrow streets, excessive noise from both Connecticut Ave and Brookville Rd, not walkable to metro, subpar public high school.....all adds up to not so great at all.[/quote]

Small, cramped, outdated houses:  That depends.  Some of the houses are quite large, and many of the houses either have been updated or have features that age well.  Some fit that profile.

Tiny lots:  Yes, the lots are smaller.  It's the trade-off people make given how expensive the land is there.

Houses crammed too close together:  Not much different than what you get if you build a bigger house on a bigger lot.

Impossibly narrow streets:  This forces people to drive slower.  Of course, sometimes you end up with cars double-parked that makes navigation difficult.

Excessive noise:  No different than living near other major roads in DC, MD, or VA.

Not walkable to Metro:  Depends on location.  Somerset is walkable to Metro; other parts of CC are not.

Subpar public high school:  You can reach this conclusion only if you have a thing against children who are not white or Asian

Adds up to not that great:  So you say, but the average sales price for single-family homes in the B-CC district over the past year is the highest in the DC suburbs (higher than Whitman, Churchill, Langley, McLean, Yorktown).   [/quote]

+1  Somerset and Chevy Chase West are fairly easy walks to the Bethesda and FH metros.  BCC has a higher great schools rating than Whitman, and it's far more diverse.     As for outdated houses, not everyone is the McMansion type.  We were city dwellers and would rather have a good location than 4000 square plus so I could have a "crafting room".[/quote]
