[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YMMV but Rockville Town Center is depressing and that whole area is on the decline. If you don’t want to be in the hole once you purchase your home in this economy I’d look where new development is a little further south. Look around Twinbrook Metro where Wegman’s is being built and around White Flint Metro and Pike and Rose. These areas are going to have homes that will appreciate a lot in the next 5-10 years, especially homes that are walkable to Twinbrook Metro and Wegman’s development.[/quote]

OP here again. Thanks to everyone for this thread it has been very useful.

What do you mean by “in decline”? Increased crime/homelessness or something? I did briefly visit RTC on Sunday and it seemed fine to me, although some of those giant bureaucratic buildings around it were a bit depressing. But I don’t know those other areas you mentioned and may check them out for comparison.

Some people mentioned Kensington. We would like to live close to a red line stop and it seems like Kensington just has the MARC station? I’ve never commuted on the MARC but have the impression it’s far less convenient[/quote]

RTC has had trouble keeping tenants.  From what I have read the rents are high.  The leasing co also runs the newer Pike and Rose Development.  Some think Pike and Rose is their first focus.  There have been issues with paying for parking but with metro right across the street, it would be impossible to have free parking.  Now there are 2 hours free so I think that park has been worked out.  The biggest issue in my opinion is the focus on only small local shops which do not attract that many shoppers.  It is a very nice spot and I hope it can find its place in the community.[/quote]
