[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The broad generalizations about Potomac homes on this thread by some is ridiculous. Statements that "the houses are all really ugly" and the "houses are all dated". Do you actually spend much time in Potomac? As a relative newcomer to the DMV area, who resides now in Potomac, I quickly learned that many towns in this area have "ugly" and 'outdated' homes....many pockets of Bethesda, Rockville, McLean, and yes, Potomac too. I appreciate the consistency of neighborhoods in DC (Chevy Chase, etc) but the interiors of many of these homes for sale are dated and a massive amount of renovation is needed for many new homeowners. Can't justify $1.5 mil on a home without a garage or driveway and shoebox size closets. I have spent a lot of time cycling thru Potomac in the past 6 months and there are so many exquisite homes and neighborhoods....We feel lucky to live so close to DC, yet in an area with some much nature, larger lot sizes, many good school choices in the area...and family friendly. Appreciate the extra space more than ever now too as a family of 5. [/quote]

I agree, it's super weird.  We live in Potomac (close in, not out River Road) and our neighborhood is beyond family friendly, kids playing in cul de sacs and biking, but we also have a gorgeous wooded backyard with a creek, privacy when we are on our deck, etc.  We sold a $1+mil in Chevy Chase for this house, about the same price, and couldn't be happier.  Old house had no garage, street parking everywhere, practically looking into the neighbors' bedrooms, etc.  I don't think people are familiar with many areas of Potomac when they write this stuff.[/quote]
