[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re not married to a SFH, there are 3br condos in great school districts like this one that are less than $500k. You can get cheaper 3br condos in this school district, but they won’t be as nice.

OP, I am the pp who moved from Arlington and urged you not to do so. If you are set on moving, these condos look like a really great deal. I did not know these existed; I think they are pretty under the radar still, although the one listed is already under contract. I think this is as good as you will do in MoCo for your budget. The schools you are zoned for are good and “North Bethesda” has more cachet and opportunity for appreciation than the other areas mentioned. It is frequently listed in articles about the best places to live in MD and the US. You are not far from metro there, close to great shopping and good schools. It will not be the “walk everywhere” vibe you wanted, but that would be twice the price at least. Good luck! [/quote]

PP again. I know you want a house, but with these condos priced below your budget, you could save the remaining money and invest and hopefully move to a house in a few years. It looks like a nice, family-friendly neighborhood with the pool and park (no driving the kids to the pool in the summer, no additional pool fees) and the schools are better than the ones connected to that Silver Spring house.

[b]I would be mindful of having your kid being the one living in the cheaper condos going to the wealthy Bethesda school.[/quote][/b]

There  are some serious mental health issues going on in this thread.  [/quote]
