[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Stoneleigh sounds great! Is it the kind of neighborhood where the kids are out playing together, riding their bikes around the neighborhood , etc. like in the 80’s? I would love that for my kids.  [/quote]

It’s not a cul de sac neighborhood, and the streets are a bit too trafficky for kids playing in them, but it is walkable to the public schools and swim club.  The only downside is very limited inventory, and that the houses tend to be on the [b]smaller side[/b].[/quote]

"Charming" (wink wink)
I'm a Stoneleigh neighbor and agree with this, you don't buy in Stoneleigh if you want a McMansion. There are plenty of great options for this if you choose something a little North in the County. Stoneleigh homes skew small (but charming), Rolandn Park homes skew too big (but drafty and hard to maintain). and Homeland's skew too vanilla and close together 
(but lovely). [/quote]

Lol, perusing the forums from my home in roland park and drafty + hard to maintain is sooo accurate.

Love our home and glad the previous owners maintained it so well but was not emotionally (or fiscally) prepared for the upkeep here.

A slate roof guy, chimney guy, an arborist so the 100+ year old black walnut trees don’t crush the house or one of us… and original leaded windows are gorgeous but any cold snap means it is >$1K+ to BGE and it’s still never quite warm.

Can’t beat the community for families with small kids though.[/quote]
