[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your family sounds more like a North Bethesda/Rockville family to me than Silver Spring. [/quote]

Yup. I agree with this.[/quote]

+1 I was about to post that many of the Eastern European and Russian families we know live in Rockville.[/quote]

I grew up in silver spring, if I couldn’t afford Bethesda I would move to North Bethesda/Rockville as the pp stated. Silver Spring is just not where I would raise a family. [/quote]

And you're going to find variety on this. So I'll just give an honest counter-view. We could afford to live in Bethesda and choose to raise our kids in Silver Spring. I have friends in Bethesda and the sense of community seems better in Silver Spring. Also, I just don't feel like enough people talk about the downsides of wealthy areas. The kids I know in Bethesda are more focused on brands, appearance, clothing, etc, and sort of cliquey keeping up with the Joneses stuff. In my experience there is less of that in Silver Spring, and that's more consistent with what I'm looking for in where I raise my kids.

+1 to SS being great for families.  We know lots of young families like ours and the sense of community is great.  Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, etc. are all so different and they are going to appeal to different people for different reasons — and even Silver Spring is vast and diverse.  I also generally don’t find people IRL to have a problem with the local schools the way they sometimes do on dcum.[/quote]
