+1.  It is a very short drive to a lot of things.  Lots of people end up a 5-10 drive to things rather than a 5-20 minute walk because it expands options considerably and generally will be less expensive.   People at all budgets make this trade off, but particularly at OP's budget it makes a lot of sense to do so.[/quote]

That trade-off really gets you once the kids are middle-school and especially high-school age, though. Old enough to get themselves places, if they CAN get themselves places - which they can't, if the only good way to get themselves there is by car.[/quote]

PP - do you live in this neighborhood?  Kids and adults can and do get many places nearby and OP didn't even mention this as a concern.  One additional is the kids being able to walk to middle and high school instead of needing to take a bus or drive carpool every day.  The elementary school does provide bus service from the neighborhood, but it is arguably walking distance to Fallsmead, too.  There are not many developments where walking to school for the entire school career is possible.  And this area of Rockville is certainly closer in than any locations in HoCo that the OP may be looking at.

If the OP doesn't have a car, this location might be a little challenging, but with a car, the house is literally minutes from a multitude of restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, and other central areas as well as being in one of the top school clusters in MoCo.[/quote]
