[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs who are defending the "east" part of Chevy Chase. We've been here for 15+ years and it's been a great choice - good schools, easy access to both Bethesda and Silver Spring, and a short(ish) commute to DC. Soon we'll be walking distance the Purple Line and lots of new retail. A friend who lives in the Village or Town of CC once remarked that we don't "really" live in Chevy Chase since nothing north of EW Highway is "real Chevy Chase." Tell it to the school system, the post office, and the tax man, please. She paid 5x what we did for our house; if affixing the phrase "real" in front of her neighborhood makes her feel better, go right ahead.

I think the area around Rosemary Hills is a huge bargain; lots of the houses have been fixed up since my oldest started there a long time ago and it seems like a nice family neighborhood. It's not Bethesda, neither is my neighborhood, and that's okay. Personally I wish we'd bought in the part of Kensington that's zoned for BCC - it's the perfect suburban neighborhood to me - but it's a bit risky today because of the Woodward reopening.

FYI, the above PP who says NCC is bursting at the seams hasn't been there in awhile. It's actually way under capacity right now - about 200 kids in a building that used to have nearly 400. There's a whole wing of the school that they don't really use except for indoor recess. Also, the name of Rosemary Hills was changed from "primary" to "elementary" school about 5+ years ago.[/quote]
