[quote=Anonymous]Bethesda has a huge amount of apartments and rental housing, which SP completely lacks so the fact that Bethesda has a higher median income than SP even with all the rental housing shows how much wealthier it is. The Zillow home value for Bethesda is double what Severna Park's is; Chevy Chase MD's is close to triple. The area of DC that is most comparable to Severna Park in terms of home value that I looked at is Petworth. Petworth is near and dear to me but it's not where you move for great schools and kid-friendly activities. In terms of price, if you live in Petworth, Columbia Heights, Brightwood, Hill East or any of the other scrappy but still very expensive places to buy a house, you have great neighborhood community spirit, but are sorely lacking in home size, space, or good schools (couldn't get into that charter), and crime is going nuts...well you can find all that you're missing for the kids in SP. You can probably keep your DC salary because your office is still mostly remote. The lack of affordability in the DC area is driving a lot of people to move elsewhere, including SP, and improving SP for the better, too.  Given that a $1M housing budget will easily get you a home in any of the water-privileged communities it's not hard to see why it's appealing if you're priced out of something similar in DC. You'll also likely have a similar to much higher income compared to your new neighbors in SP, too. Just be active in your community and vote!!![/quote]
