[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that those of us who actually live in Glenmont and 20906 are getting drowned out by people who don't.

Crime is not any higher in the sfh neighborhoods here than it is in Kensington or closer in Silver Spring. Check out the crime map, in some cases it is lower.

Are the schools attended by poorer people whose parents rent apartments? Yes, they are.

I really like my half an acre yard, and nice quiet neighborhood where kids play outside. All about a ten minute drive to the metro, and conveniently situated a close drive to Olney, Wheaton, Kensington and Rockville. [/quote]

Exactly.  I read this thread and I felt like I didn't even know my own neighborhood.  I've been living in the area for 16 or so years and have never thought of it as dangerous.  People talk about walking around late at night.  And, the metro staff have to walk from the station to the rail yard at all hours and they don't have issues.  My kids take the trains and buses all the time - like multiple times a week.  Before Covid I used the trains and buses to get to work, all with no issues.

While schools might not have the best reputation, the only thing that really matters is whether they meet your child's needs.  We have been very happy with our kids' options.  And, it was a real bonus having Thomas Edison in the area because the bus ride wasn't so long for my son.  [/quote]
