[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look in 20910, especially if your husband will continue to work in College Park.

For now, he'd have to drive (15 minutes) or bus (30 minutes) but the Purple Line will connect Downtown Silver Spring and College Park within a few years.

East Silver Spring seems like a great compromise. There is a lot of variety in home and lot size, so you should be able to find something that meets both of your needs.

Something like this with a smaller lot: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/632-Mississippi-Ave-Silver-Spring-MD-20910/37278281_zpid/

This is a bigger lot, same street: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/512-Mississippi-Ave-Silver-Spring-MD-20910/37278525_zpid/

Op, I would NOT suggest East Silver Spring because the school is high FARMS, and thus your children would be surrounded by highly impoverished, often first generation students. This in turn would affect the kind of education your children receive, the PTA make up and other things. But it would also affect your real estate values in the future.

By the way you can also look up demographic data and other kinds of data using this link here, its helpful to help you determine purchasing in a diverse neighborhood but also getting a quality education for your future children.

MoCo is in the middle of redoing boundaries because its building more schools. For example,

This post slamming East Silver Spring is bizarre. First of all, the school itself is very well-liked among the neighbors and has an active and engaged PTA. There are several recent threads on this site with current parents recommending the school -- saying it is very similar to TPES/PBES and even has some advantages over it. In addition, the idea that prices in/near DTSS are going to drop is also not founded. They have been going up for some time and show no signs of slowing down. Drive around the neighborhood and you'll see dozens of houses under renovation -- a tangible sign that families are deciding to stay and expand rather than move. There has been very little on the market there recently, and the ones that have listed have gone in bidding wars above list price.
