[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just too bad it is right under the flight path. Be prepared to be woken at 5 am. Take offs every minute for most of the day. All of that for a million. [/quote]

This is not a well-informed comment.  I live a few blocks away from this future development, and we are not at all "right under the flight path."  Perhaps you're thinking of Glen Echo, which is closer to the Potomac River?  This is on the other side of Mass Avenue.

Neighborhood groups fought this development for approximately 20 years.  This is an almost entirely SFH neighborhood.  People did not want high-density housing.  At first, it was going to be even more dense -- condos.  I think that the neighbors are worried about who is going to be moving in -- ideally calm, respectful, and educated people who take care of their properties and do not create noise -- that is literally what people want in a neighbor.

This is a really good location.  And so I am honestly kind of surprised that the townhouses would be this "inexpensive," considering the location (in close-in Bethesda near a ton of amenities).[/quote]

The noise from airplanes is awful there. In fact the neighborhood has a representative on the Community Noise Working Group at DCA and there are only four community members from MoCo. Other communities represented are Cabin John and Potomac.

I am the PP who lives a few blocks from this planned townhouse development.  The airplane noise is not "awful."  Again, this area is farther from the Potomac River than perhaps you realize.  I have never heard anyone in the neighborhood complain about airplane noise.  Now if you're talking about nearby Glen Echo (off of Macarthur Blvd), then I do agree that the airplane noise is bad.  I feel bad for the Palisades neighborhood in DC as well.  They are close to the Potomac River, and the planes fly so low there.  [/quote]
