[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The kP neighborhood abuts the Wyngate neighborhood in Bethesda and I think the feel is very similar in terms of community, people, etc. [/b] Each has very similar commutes with slightly different pros and cons as far as getting one place or another (Bethesda closer to Westfield mall; kp closer to Wheaton mall; Bethesda has slightly more bus routes to metro, but KP is closer to grosvenor station and Connecticut ave., etc,)

Agree.  In general, many of the posts on this thread don't seem to realize that both Bethesda and Kensington are made up of several very different neighborhoods.  [/quote]

+1;[b] just pick the house you like,[/b] especially if you're looking in Bethesda in the neighborhoods that are not walkable to the Bethesda metro.

This question wasn't asked, but if you're looking between Silver Spring and Kensington,  I'd recommend the Kensington area. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and that's not exactly what I meant.  I think finding the right neighborhood is really important -- maybe much more important than finding the right house.  You can remodel a house, but you can't do much to change your neighborhood.  My point was more than you can't just assume that all of Bethesda or all of Kensington is monolithic.  Each of these areas has distinct neighborhoods.  For example, living within walking distance of Old Kensington would have a very different feel from living in KP.  Similarly, living in Wyngate is very different from living in the Burning Tree area of Bethesda.       [/quote]

I'd argue that the thing that's most different about those neighborhoods is the architecture/ type of house you can buy for your budget.  The neighborhoods are all quite nice and more or less the same amount of "walkability" (except for the area in TOK on the east side of Connecticut, which is very walkable) [/quote]
