[quote=Anonymous]We live in North Kensington.

If you leave around 7am, Bethesda will probably take you about 20-30min.

People are family friendly.  I like greenery more than walkability to steel and concrete, but YMMV.

Not quite walkable to stores unless you're ok with 15-20min walks (sometimes more depending on how far you're from Conn. Ave. or Univ. Blvd.).

I like the fact that on weekends, I can be driving to Wheaton in 5min, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Rockville, and Silver Spring in 10-15mins, and downtown DC in 30min.

Most of the homes are 1500-2000sqft, so few mega mansions (except for that new development of 6-7 houses on Connecticut right after the Univ.Blvd. fork).

CVS, Epic Pharmacy, Safeway, Mont. Co. Liquor store, dry cleaners and hair shops, couple of diners, 7-11s, and way too many gas stations.  It's not urban by any means and it really needs a decent restaurant or two, but it's comfy location.

Oh, and if you like Costco, it's 5min drive away (we just park far away and walk 15 sec more instead of waiting for that elusive parking spot).[/quote]
