But this PP is correct about Deal feeder neighborhoods. If you like Silver Spring, Takoma park area, you can look across the street from Takoma Park in Shepherd Park DC, also across the street from Rock Creek Park (one of the only two neighborhoods that feeds to Deal that are east of the Rock Creek Park). It's not as urban as Georgetown, but more than Chevy Chase because its walkable to urban parts of Takoma and Silver Spring is currently undergoing huge development at Walter Reed that will make it more retail friendly. Also, you can get a lot more for $1m, plenty of street parking, and very diverse neighborhood (albeit not much in terms as SES as it has always been a historically upper class, black and Jewish neighborhood of DC.[/quote]

and is nowhere near metro or much else. It is beautiful but suburban and [b]you will be driving a lot[/b].[/quote]

Not PP, but I live here and have to agree.  I have some neighbors who are close to Georgia or esp. Eastern Ave., and they're in much more walkable locations for Metro and downtown Silver Spring.  But aside from that narrow northeast corner of the neighborhood, the rest is not as walkable, and most families have two cars.  That'll change as the upper Georgia Ave. corridor continues to develop (cranes and construction everywhere now), and with Walter Reed redevelopment on the horizon, but that's not anytime soon.  Pretty neighborhood, but very suburban feel overall.[/quote]
