[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that the majority of these options seem to be in Virginia.[/quote]

I agree, there are some places in/around Rockville that zone to schools with 7/8 on Greatschools and are relatively close to Metro, and I am a rather committed Virginian. If I weren't born/raised/have family in VA, I don't see why I'd pooh-pooh Rockville/Frederick.

If MARC access is worth considering, you can get pretty much anything you want in Brunswick. They're even selling new SFHs within walking distance of MARC and nearly in the middle of downtown for under $350k.

Frederick is also worth considering, although you'd only be getting a TH or a *really needing renovation* SFH in downtown for that price range.

With that logic, Fredericksburg VA is also an option (if you think VRE is ok.) A little bit less than Frederick but more than Brunswick.

I understand that MARC has more trains than VRE, but VRE trains are more likely to run on time.

On the other hand, if you work around Capital Hill/Georgetown/West End/Fed. Triangle, VA is closer than MD. Sure you have to cross a bridge, but you don't have to go all the way down Wisconsin/Georgia Ave. either. [/quote]
