[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG - MCPS isn't even the best in MD. Its halfway down the list of MD counties now. Howard and Frederick surpassed it years ago.

MCPS hit its peak in the early 2000s and has been sliding down ever since due to bad decisions and a changing demographic. There really is zero reason to move to MoCo for the schools. If you have a job in MoCo and its an easier commute then sure move here and deal with the so so schools or pay for private. Other than that, there is just no reason to move here other than its cheaper than areas in VA and DC now (which wasn't true until the past few years). [/quote]

This real estate value thing is unfortunately true, esp at the over $800k value. Similar houses and yards cost 20% more in DC, Arlington and Fairfax than in Bethesda, Potomac, MoCo anywhere. Plus the non-MoCo houses are rising in value each year, significantly. We started looking for a mother 300-3500 sf home inside the beltway in VA and it is much more costly than the same sized and aged house we currently live in in Bethesda. [/quote]
