[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question, I don't know yet but will be moving to Landsdale in Monrovia, coming from MoCo. Looking forward to a younger community, good amenities, good schools. I am hoping there will be even more diversity with the new developments.

There are too many people on DCUM who think a long commute is the end of the world. [/quote]

You too will become one of those people after you’ve done the Linganore - DC commute for a year or two.  Good luck.[/quote]

On a good day, that’s a rough commute.  Landsdale and Urbana don’t have it as bad, since they are close to 270.  Linganore is another story.  Tons of new houses going in there and no infrastructure to support it.  To get out of Lake Linganore, you have to take a bunch of winding country roads.  These roads aren’t equipped to handle the influx of traffic.  Even worse, these roads are not safe.[/quote]

Um, I live in Linganore and it's literally 10 minutes to Urbana and never have I been backed up or experienced traffic on Mussetter/Ijamsville road which is the winding road you're talking about to get there.  How are they not safe?  Know what you're talking about before you comment.[/quote]

NP here. I know people who chose Urbana over the other neighborhoods (Monrovia, Linganore, etc..) because of its close proximity to 270; and even that is already a sacrifice. If you're commuting towards Bethesda/DC/VA,  Urbana is really the best option while Linganore and Landsdale would be a commuter's death sentence. [/quote]

It's not a "death sentence," but it's not fun to get from Linganore to 270.  Tolerable during COVID, but tough during normal times and only going to get worse as it gets more crowded.  [b]The ten minute estimate from Linganore to 270 is either from brand new residents and/or is realtor speak.[/b]  I once had a realtor try to tell me it took only 45 minutes to get from Shepherdstown, WV to College Park....anything to sell a house.[/quote]
DP. I don't think the PP said it's 10 minutes from Langanore to 270. The PP said Linganore is "literally 10 minutes to [b]Urbana[/b]"[/quote]
