[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re really liking our part of Silver Spring near downtown and just outside TKPK.  Very walkable but we also have a spacious SFH.  Great friendly neighbors.  Most neighbors are using the public schools.  The neighborhood is very diverse especially since we’re very near a lot of apartment complexes.  Personally I’m feeling optimistic about property values as well, although we bought the house because we liked it.  I know crime can be an issue in DTSS but we are close but not that close, so I don’t have concerns about this.[/quote]

We’re in a slightly different part of Silver Spring (McKenney Hills/Carroll Knolls neighborhood) and we also love it. Just outside the beltway, walkable to the Forest Glen metro which is clean and quiet, as well as the local elementary schools (Flora Singer and Oakland Terrace) which most people really like. Diverse housing stock, which makes for a great mix of people in all stages of life with all types of jobs (although super kid friendly area so young families are very well represented),  and diverse retail (one direction is Wheaton/the mall, or you can walk to Town of Kensington by cutting through Homewood Park). Friendly neighbors who are happy to help you out, very active community association. And affordable for this non-profit family: we live in a large house that’s less than half a mile from a metro! I will say one con is the majority of the diverse housing stock is quite small so it can be hard to find a larger house, but plenty of neighbors have bought or are buying small and adding on.

This is where we are too. Moved here a year ago without really knowing much about the area and have had a great experience. Excited for OTES later this year. [/quote]
