Silver Springs nicer neighborhoods like the Woodside area and Sligo Park Hills are heavily populated by doctors and lawyers

If you’re a lawyer, doctor or executive, you want to live west of 270 (or Bethesda/Chevy Chase).

Lawyer with family money here. No, I really really didn’t.

It sounds like your kids are not very good students. The schools in Silver Spring will give you the same quality of education as the W schools; your kids just won't be surrounded by whiteness.

This is what people who can’t go to W schools say to make themselves feel better.

This is what people who send their kids to W schools say when their kids don't get into good colleges.

Like I said, whatever you need to tell yourself.

When it comes to W vs. non-W I think a good comparison is the star ranking system for anyone who follows high school basketball or football recruiting.

The W’s are full of 3-5 stars.
Non W’s are full of unranked-3 stars.

Can 2/3 stars shine and even become big time stars? Sure. But it’s much more rare than a 4/5 star going pro and having a great career.

I love it. I wouldn’t touch a thing outside the basement

It is nice because it is made some years ago and is not cookie cutter on the exterior. Very picture book and some nice spaces. But, this is not a move in ready home imho. I would do some upgrades.

I wouldn’t pay 1.2M for that kitchen.

Finally, someone else in this thread with some sense.

Almost 1.2M to go Blair? No thank you.

That is the gayest shit I've ever read.
