[quote=Anonymous]I'd also like to add that Garrett Park Estates is so much more expensive than its counterpart across the tracks because of its proximity to the Red Line and White Flint, which will be booming with development in several years (either with Amazon or a development that's rumored to be anchored by Wegman's). East of the park you aren't close to any such development...it's not just schools. The same applies to Kensington. The downtown and being able to walk to a grocery store, shops, restaurants, several gorgeous parks and the MARC are helping it as well as schools.

The difference between homes zoned for Oakland Terrace and KP is not that big anymore...they have houses on Plyers Mill with soaking tubs selling for all cash in several days:

You have "elevator ready" townhomes being built behind Wheaton Mall that are going to go on the market for close to $800,000, for starters:

South Kensington and North Kensington, especially those areas that are walkable to Kensington's Antique Row, will always be desirable no matter whether they're in WJ, Woodward or even Einstein. The teardown are already creeping up from Parkwood across Connecticut and into North Kensington. If you can walk to any form of fixed rail (Metro or MARC) you'll be good because traffic is bad and will be even worse once Woodward opens up. Don't worry.
