[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=REALTOR4U]I think you will find that the schools in Montgomery County are generally better than DC and are highly rated.  Two of the  best areas for schools on the County are in Potomac and Bethesda.  Check out GreatSchools.net for more information. [/quote]

Very little diversity in Potomac and Bethesda.  There are other great schools in Montgomery County where you would feel welcome. I grew up in Potomac and would never move back there.  [/quote]

In the end, most parents end up choosing good schools over the diversity of "poor non-whites, yuppie whites" that exists in most of DC/Silver Spring, or "World Bank diversity" that exists in upper NW/Bethesda (which OP isn't going to afford on a "mere" $900k.)

Rockville might be a decent choice if OP is in the "wants some urbanity, but isn't going to sacrifice safety and send my kids to terrible schools" mode. [/quote]

PP, can you explain how this makes any sense? Rockville has mediocre schools, isn't urban at all, and while a fine place to live is mainly home to (i) middle-class Fed workers, and (ii) poor non-whites? Plenty of areas in DC/Bethesda have homes in the $900k range, and Silver Spring white yuppies? Do you even live in this area? [/quote]
