[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never heard anyone use the term “North Kensington” or “South Kensington.”  If pressed beyond “Kensington” residents will reply with street names, which side of big roads, nearby landmarks, or their neighborhood’s name.  I do hear people talk about “North Bethesda.”  Maybe in 20 years people will talk about “South Kensington.”

OP, the school boundaries are weird and could change in the next 5 years.  As you look at individual houses, look up their schools on the MCPS school locator and you will start to get a sense of which neighborhoods go where now.  If you live in the walker zone for a school you are less likely to be moved to a different school in boundary changes.[/quote]

Never heard of it either.   People are making up terms to segregate the populations.  Never heard of North Bethesda and North Potomac till the past 10 years.  You are either in the town of Kensington or not.[/quote]

Except the town of Kensington is really small.  Where do the people who don't live in the Town live?  Their postal address is Kensington.  They don't live in any other town.  I guess you could say your neighborhood, but no one from more than 5 miles away would know where that is.  If you said you lived in Parkwood or Byeforde no one from 90% of the County would have any idea where you live.  It would be meaningless.  I sometimes tell people I am from an unincorporated part of Montgomery County often referred to as Kensington, but that's a mouthful and I really only do it when I'm trying to make a point about how much of "Kensington" is NOT in the Town of Kensington.
