[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People act like Kensington is one area with one personality while TP is all the trendy homes near the metro. They both have a spectrum of homes.

The Victorians in the town of Kensington go for more than the best homes in TP by the metro. The cheaper parts of Kensington are still more expensive than slummy parts of TP that most people think is Langley Park along university. The middle areas are comparable. All in all there is way more nice parts of Kensington than TP and way more poverty in TP.  TP is just more trendy and on people tongues but even then most of them are only thinking about a few roads near the center of it. [/quote]

So the Victorians in Kensington are going for $2M+?[/quote]

Yes there are quite a few 2mil homes in Ken but you’re crazy to think TP is a 2mil$ area, most of the best homes in the historic are low $1mil ranges. Special homes in the 1.5 range. 2mil sales for all of time could be counted on one’s fingers. The vast majority of TP is still under 1Mil. [/quote]

Seems recently $1.2M+ for Takoma Park homes.  Recent $1.9M for a not particularly special house.  Prices in TP are definitely going into a higher category.

Your idea of TP and the reality is very different. TP is apparently much bigger than you are aware of and has some of the poorest parts of MoCo. TP is not a million dollar area even if a few streets get that.

[quote=Anonymous]According to this data (https://www.point2homes.com/US/Neighborhood/MD/Montgomery-County-Demographics.html) these are the three lowest income zip codes in the county

20877: Gaithersburg
20903: White Oak
20912: Takoma Park[/quote]

Would you call White Oak a million dollar area? There have been a few sales that support that orrrrrrrr do you go of the vast majority of sales.   [/quote]
