[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Severna Park several years ago, but now live in Potomac.  In response to the poster who said that SP is AA county's version of Bethesda or McLean I would say that while SP is probably the one of the best places to live in AA county it certainly cannot be compared to the likes of Bethesda or Potomac in Montgomery County.

I actually liked Severna Park, and I didn't find it to be terribly rich or snobby.  Yes, there are some people with huge houses there, but those are not the majority of people.  It's more laid back than the "snooty" areas of Montgomery County.   While there are a good number of doctors and lawyers in SP, I would argue that the majority of people here do not have postgraduate degrees as they do in MoCo and therefore in MoCo you tend to get people who are snobs in terms of education.  I would also say that SP is no where near as wealthy as Bethesda, Potomac, McLean.

I also can add that my husband is a physician and he saw a lot of patients from SP.  He often commented that a lot of these patients were not very bright, the kids all seemed kind of flat, etc.  A lot of people also did not have money and/or bad credit.

We moved to Potomac for a few reasons.  First, we needed to move out that way to be closer to Georgetown, where my husband now works.  Second, you just can't argue that the schools in Potomac far outshine those in SP.  We also wanted an area that had to offer more than the waterfront and The Chart House in Annapolis.

I would still say, however, that if I had to live in AA County, I would probably stay in SP.  I'm just trying to help you understand that you shouldn't make SP out to be this lala land rich snobby place with the best of the best of everything.  IMO it's certainly better than living in some of the other AA suburbs like Crofton, or Gambrills, or Edgewater.

Good luck, I hope I didn't offend anyone here, just trying to give you a worthwhile opinion.[/quote]
