[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people love the Kentlands. If possible drive thru and see for yourself. I get the appeal but I need more space! Also it would not be the school district I would choose.  Several new restaurants in the Kentlands area and lots of community spirit.

I personally would look in 20878. In your price range, you are probably looking to the areas north of Travilah elementary to the west and east of Muddy Branch. You could get a SFH in that price range. That would also put you in Wootton which draws a premium in real estate and is a good school but a bit of a pressure cooker. Other homes nearby may zone to quince orchard high school which does not score as high test wise but is a bit more relaxed. Both are good schools and part of MCPS. There has been some talk of redistricting but I haven’t heard many updates lately - maybe on hold because of Covid. If you wanted more land you could go south in 20878 or 20854 for bigger lots, but probably not in your price range. [/quote]

What's wrong with the school district? It's no worse than the rest of MCPS or the other local districts.

Also, we have pretty large (5,000 sqft) SFHs in Kentlands. Even the townhouses can be 3,000 sqft. [/quote]
The lots in the Kentlands are too small for me, not the houses. It’s a nice area - but it’s not for everyone. [/quote]
DP.. trust me.. lot sizes in Cupertino aren't very big, either. About 5000sqft[/quote]
But we’re not in Cupertino. So no need to buy a small lot unless that’s what you like. [/quote]
?  But OP is coming from Cuptertino which has small lots, and OP didn't say OP wanted large lots. Some people don't like large lots because it means more maintenance.

I like my large lot, but I know not everyone does.[/quote]
