Here it is.  I live in PG county and I love it.  My house is beautiful (my dream house/forever home), my husband's commute is easy, my neighbors are sweethearts, our neighborhood school is good, we have no crimes in our area, and my house cost less than 350k.  I can stay at home with my kids if I feel like it.  To each his own I suppose![/quote]

What community are you in?  Just out of curiosity...[/quote]

I live in the same subdivision as this house, in seabrook:  http://www.redfin.com/MD/Lanham/10212-Everley-Ter-20706/home/10874115

I really, really like it.  I made the effort to get to know my neighbors, and they are all down-to-earth, nice people.  The neighborhood kids are always playing outside together in a big group, like when I was a kid!  Most of the distressed homes have been sold, with a few stragglers like above (this is a big problem in PG).  I really worried about living in PG County and I lost a lot of sleep over it, but now I feel like it was all completely unwarranted.  To the east and north are Bowie and Glenn Dale, which are even "better" areas, crime and school wise.[/quote]

FWIW, my dad just started working in Hopewell, VA.  He had heard all these awful stories about how "bad" the area supposedly is.  He's working with HS kids.  He said he's found the kids are polite and sweet and he's had no troubles at all.  Granted, he worked in a somewhat rural area of MD for 30+ years, but he was surprised at how NOT bad the area is based on reputation.

Take everything you hear with a massive helping of salt, right?

Your house is newer and nicer than mine, but we love our NoVA hood that sounds similar in character.  Good people, good kids, middle class suburbia at its best, really.  But some people refuse to even consider it because some of the houses have chain link fences and some people have RVs in their driveways.  Their loss, really.[/quote]
