[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Rockville and the Potomac area caught my attention because I have two friends who live there. They’ve always spoken highly of the schools, the convenience, and the strong sense of community. Interestingly, they mentioned that several people in their neighborhood commute to Baltimore daily, which made me think these two counties are among the top choices.

I also toured Baltimore City. No offense intended, but I didn’t feel as drawn to the city. When I visited a CVS and saw most items locked up, the overall atmosphere felt a bit run-down. It just didn’t leave the best impression on me personally.

OP, you've said a great deal about yourself in this one brief post to know there's no point making recommendations about anything else. Just buy in Howard County. Ellicott City will be fine and reasonably close to Baltimore. You'll get a decent house in your budget. Thinking about Rockville is silly. If someone lives there and works in the Baltimore area it's because they were previously working in the DMV or have a spouse who works in the DMV and they chose to be the one to suffer a long commute. Rockville is not notable or impressive by any measures.

After reading op’s post, agree.  Bland suburbs with an hour commute to work and tied to car to go anywhere is what he wants.[/quote]

NP and I agree. This person describes Baltimore according to the appearance of a CVS store. Howard county is the best place for OP! Cookie cutter neighborhood in the Hoco burbs where kids can attend a decent public school pyramid and he/she has a shorter commute.[/quote]
