[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Olney/Brookeville has wealthy families without the rat race. [/quote] I’m the poster who left and always thinks about coming back and Olney/Brookeville is exactly where I keep getting drawn to. Can you tell me more about the vibe there?[/quote]

It has the wealth of Potomac/Bethesda/CC without the striver element.

It’s a mix of UMC to affluent families with very little (hardly any, really) low income housing.

No metro, so minimal issues with riff raff.

Plenty of UMC families still use public schools. Others use the local privates or schlep down county or into DC for private (mostly legacies).

Lots of second or third generation locals who love the old school, small town way of life.

Diverse racially/ethnically but not socioeconomically. (Again: no real low income housing; few rentals).

Sports are big. Some kids ride horses.

Lots of families with beach houses and money, but you rarely see designer or showy accessories.

I think a lot of MoCo locals strategically moved out here to avoid the rat race and the pressure it imposes on all facets of life. And some moved out here because they no longer recognize parts of down county that have changed too much. [/quote]

I guess I’m just driving past the wrong part of Olney/Brookville because all I ever see is strip malls and subdivisions with big lots and questionable architecture. [/quote]
