[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To live here like the equivalent of the middle class of most other areas in the us you need to make at least 375 to 450k. Any less and you will have to compromise on house size (smaller than 3000sqrft), location, schools etc... This is if you didn't buy before 2004. Housing costs are the killer where a standard middle class sized home costs at least 1million. [/quote] I have a standard middle class home, 5 br, 3 full bath, approx 2000sq ft upstairs with a 2000 sq ft walkout basement [b]in SS[/b], just outside the beltway for $460K. A standard middle class home does not costs $1M. [/quote] Do you mean Silver Spring? Then many would argue that you compromised on schools.[/quote] Another S Spring resident here and nope, we didn't compromise on schools. We chose to live here, we think the schools are great.[/quote] Where in Silver Spring? We live there too, our house is smaller than yours and is worth a little more (closer to 500)[/quote] We are in 20902. Our house is worth closer to $500K too, but we just got a really good deal from some desperate sellers.[/quote]
