[quote=Anonymous]OP - what kind of crime are you most worried about? What are you trying to escape by moving? I live in Silver Spring and agree it's an alternative that might suit you but it's not crime-free. When we bought in 2006 we were torn between Cap Hill and Silver Spring. In our close-in Silver Spring neighborhood there is less "urban grittiness" than you would find on Cap Hill. My 9 yr old is allowed around the neighborhood (few streets) on her own when going to play with friends. I don't think I would allow this on Cap Hill. That said, Silver Spring is not crime-free. There are fairly regular break-ins to both cars and houses. We are lucky not to have experienced this ourselves. There are things you can do to deter this (lighting, fencing, dog, alarm). There is also violent crime in Silver Spring, of course, tends to be concentrated in certain neighborhoods. Hope this helps. [/quote]
