[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at those new SFH and town-homes (the white ones) in Kensington for about 800-900K.  Getting nearer to committing.  Easy walk (10 mins) for DH to metro to biglaw downtown, and I am home for a few years while kids (4, 2, infant) are small. Definitely want my kids in immersion program.

Also considering buying older home and rehabbing / expanding it, but with  3 young ones that may be too disruptive to our lives.

I hate to admit it but being 5 minutes from Costco is as exciting to me as having my kids in immersion! [/quote]

You are much better off buying and expanding vs. getting a flip house.  [b]If you are big law, why would you go to Homewood/Silver Spring for that price and just go into the Town of Kensington[/b].[/quote]

She is talking about the new builds over by the Mall, not a flip.[/quote]

It is actually Kensington. We didn't find any other neighborhoods so nice and convenient (DH can go straight down the Red line to Farragut North) and so much house for the money anywhere else. I can walk the kids to school without crossing any busy roads. Something is telling me you are a bit of a snob? Because we certainly are not. [/quote]

Its on the very edge of Kensington.  Wheaton Mall is extremely busy during the day.  Conn. Ave is very busy.  They are very expensive townhouses.  They have been trying to sell them for a year or two.  There is a reason no one buys them when you can buy a house in Kensington for that price.  Your husband is big law (we all noted the brag but lots of folks make money around here and no one cares about big law).  You can afford a car to get to the mall. Your husband can take uber to the metro or park at Forest Glen and metro in or just pay for parking.

No one knows if the language immersion will transfer to middle school or not.  Its a brand new program and it only was in K. last year.

We are happy for ours to go to Einstein but there is no way I'd pay $1 million for Oakland Terrace.   You are far better off sending your kids to private given how wealthy you are (or like to brag).[/quote]
