[quote=Anonymous]I agree w/ PPs, OP, Takoma Park fits your description to a tee.  We wanted the same things, looked for over a year, and just bought in old town TP.  It will be hard to find a house for $600K there, though there are a few, e.g. (though this one in particular is on a main road):

Most houses in Old Town TP, that have more than 2 BR, are in the $700K--$900K range.  If you are able to expand to $700K you could find something close to the town center.  See, for example:

If you need to stick to $600K, I agree w/ PPs, def. check out Sligo Park Hills (also in TP), Woodside Park in SS, and the areas abutting downtown Silver Spring.

FWIW, if most of your friends are in VA, I agree w/ the other PP, def. consider VA as well if you can find a neighborhood you like there.  Notwithstanding our good intentions to do so, we rarely see our good friends who live in VA now.  Between school events, practice, birthday parties, family obligations, neighbors' gatherings (there are many--TP is a great, supportive, friendly community), school, work, etc., we rarely make it out to VA (or they to us in MD) anymore.  Alas.

GL in you decision!  We really love TP, and if you find your way to the same area, welcome![/quote]
