[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if Twinbrook will be the new Kensington in terms of tearing down the little shoebox houses and replacing them with million dollar homes?

Only time will tell, but this builder is ahead of the curve (too soon) and really missed the boat by building a house that looks like two shipping containers were stacked.

How loud is that master bathroom? I can hear the echo through the pictures.

Why didn’t they build a screened porch on the back of the house?

Why is everything gray?

If it feeds into RM instead of Rockville, maybe a $1M buyer might bite for a sub-million price. But most buyers with $1M budget want curb appeal and neighbors with nice homes.

Twinbrook might gentrify. It’s a very unique community in that it diversified but retained whites families; by contrast, Glenmont did not. Plus: schools are good. This builder might be onto something. [/quote]

Lol! Twinbrook (a red line neighborhood) might gentrify!?! [/quote]

Twinbrook has been a red line neighborhood forever. And it’s been in decline since the 80s.

To the other poster who man-splained gentrification: I think the term fits Twinbrook—a minority-majority area in decline that might soon be overrun by yuppies with money to upgrade the outdated yet affordable housing stock and ultimately change the demographics, schools, and overall vibe of the area.

Why don’t you say Bethesda is being gentrified when small house  neighborhoods are changed to huge house neighborhoods?
The point is Twinbrook will change to very expensive neighborhood in the next 10 years.[/quote]

Not necessarily.

Bethesda is close-in and has always enjoyed great schools. The demographics have always been UMC/UC and largely white. Bethesda has always been expensive. Always.

Both Twinbrook and Glenmont are on the red line, btw. Both have declined. Glenmont has arguably declined more. Only time will tell if people will invest in Twinbrook. Maybe, maybe not. The builder took a big risk with that house. [/quote]

Declined? Is that code for Hispanics are the majority?[/quote]
