[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Palisades doesn't feed to Deal.
 
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 you will be driving a lot.[/quote]

NP. I live in Shepherd Park and have a 10/15 minute walk to Silver Spring or Takoma Metro stop on the Red Line. Unless you are obese or decrepit, a mile walk is nothing.[/quote]

NP.  I am neither obese nor decrepit (there is a decent chance my 10k time would beat yours) but I am not willing to walk a mile to the metro.  First, that walk will take me a lot longer than my current 5 minute drive to the metro.  Second, I often make that ride with kids and/or lots of other stuff.  That not only slows the trip tremendously, but makes it a big pain in the butt.  The trip is even less pleasant in lousy weather.

Please enjoy your mile walk, but I'd rather take a very quick drive with my kids and all their/my crap.[/quote]

Uh you're not doing the mile walk because of other factors not because it isn't walkable. Yes, if my kids were little I would not walk. For most adults traveling solo to work, a mile walk isn't that much.[/quote]
