[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious to know if the people talking about Germantown have actually ever lived there. Or are you just looking at school stats?

I'm not a PP but I used to lived in a townhouse across the street from Northwest behind the Clopper Mill Village Shopping Center when my oldest was a toddler. We made sure to get out before he entered school. We live in Rockville now so we aren't super rich like Bethesda or Potomac families. We are very happy with our elementary that feeds into RM and the tons of amenities we have here. You must live up in Boyds because where we lived was pretty bad. The parks were nice and our townhouse was very pretty and it was an extremely diverse area but there was definitely a higher than average amount of crime. We had to call the police multiple times after we heard yelling and teenagers sneaking around in the alley behind our house. Houses on OUR block had been broken into during our time there as well. Maybe near Woodcliffe area it isn't as bad but that isn't a huge area itself. We moved after we heard GUNFIRE for the second time... yes it was really a shooting. I'm still shocked some people still think Germantown is a great area. We even lived on the nice side! Our previous experiences there continue to make DH and I stay way clear of Germantown. The shopping center always had empty storefronts and the Shoppers is not very nice. [/quote]

I live in the area you described right now. None of the storefronts are empty...never had a bad experience at Shoppers (and if you don't like Shoppers, there are two Giants nearby and a Harris Teeter in Darnestown). We have lived here for 3 years now with no issue (never heard any gunfire, nobody has broken in). Our son has plenty of friends in the neighborhood and overall it is a pleasant place to live.[/quote]

I never New Shoppers was the focus of Germantown."..  There is town center, milestone, Boyd’s, etc.  wouldnt live near shoppers...[/quote]
