[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate this insight. I live in Crofton, and I love Bowie. Our church is in Bowie, we love Allen Pond, plenty of convenient shopping in Bowie, and of course it’s easy to hop on 50 and get to DC or Annapolis. It’s one of those things where I wish Bowie and Crofton both had better reputations, but then again it’s fine if people turn up their noses because we don’t want Bowie and Crofton overrun by snobby DCUM types who would ruin it![/quote]

Crofton, Gambrills, and Odenton already have very good reputations. Arundel HS and Crofton HS are some of the best school pyramids in AACo. There is a community similar to Soleil at Bowie in Gambrills off Underwood Rd called Ridings at North Branch, and it feeds to the new Crofton HS. But I think the homes there are more expensive ($1.1M-$1.7M). People are also paying $900k-$1M+ for those tiny new homes in Two Rivers in Odenton that almost touch the houses next to them.

Bowie is also a great area, and despite what people here are saying, the schools are not mediocre at all. There are plenty of high-performing elementary schools in Bowie, and the middle and high school are decent. Not the best, but also far from being the worst as well. People are slowly going to get jealous of Bowie, especially people living in the outer burbs. [/quote]
What world do you live in? Schools in Bowie are terrible, particularly middle and high school.  A few kids in our neighborhood went to public for elementary but everyone I know pulled there kids out for middle and high school. No one is going to be jealous. Bowie could be nice. It is a very poorly managed city. [/quote]

The elementary schools in Bowie are rated like an 8 or 9 though.[/quote]

If you compare school scores in Bowie to somewhere like Springfield for example, the discrepancy on home pricing makes less sense.  Schools in Bowie are as good if not better.[/quote]
Do your kids go to Bowie schools or are you just comparing online?[/quote]

NP
Why?
what's the difference between people who compare MoCo and "north" Arlington schools online?[/quote]
