Forest Glen and Wheaton. You can still get a 3-4 bedroom house walkable to metro for under a million.

Just bought around Forest Glen area and most homes seemed to have gone for around $500-600K 5-10 years ago but are now closer to $700K (around what we bought for) and even closer to $800-900K depending on the house.
Maybe it was still a good investment but with all the uncertainties, who knows. And I always laugh at the idea of a “starter home”. Probably could’ve called one such if we bought something for $400-500K like a decade ago. But being in our 30’s now and only now first time home buyers with ridiculous interest rates and prices, feels like we missed the boat there.

As a resident, I would go closer to college park.
Not if you are driving into the city, or if you like historic houses.
It’s not clear from the OP if they plan to live there or just want an investment property. Most people who live in CP and work in the city, just metro in instead of drive. There are also historic homes in all neighborhoods along Route 1

Honestly, I would rent in these areas first and see how things shake out wrt Trump and federal jobs. House prices might drop some of there are large numbers of unemployed feds and federal contractors. You don’t want to buy at the top of the market if there will be a price drop of 10%

Cheverly.
With return to office for feds, access to Metro and major roads (50/295) is attractive.
