[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to the people living in Wheaton, Rockville, and other areas where this is going to destroy neighborhoods, what would you suggest my mother do? She's elderly, and really does not want to sell the house. But she and and I see firsthand what has become of this formerly (upper) middle class neighborhood, and the property values. Should I encourage her to sell? It's a very nice house - 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, finished basement, hardwood floors throughout, updated bathrooms and kitchen, but they're barely getting $450,000. One house sold for $325,000 (not a typo), but it had been rented out to single men for years, and it was probably completely trashed.[/quote]

Does she still feel safe there?  If so, and she does not want to sell, it would be tough to force her to move.

We hope to move within the next two years (saving up) but we have kids in school and want them in a better environment.

As long as your mom feels safe and can get around the house, maybe let her stay?  Until she can’t manage it anymore.  Then move her to Leisure World.[/quote]
