Silver Spring 20910, the neighborhoods near downtown Silver Spring.

Fallsmead and Rockshire next to Wootton High.

Sadly you are priced out of Cabin John, Glen Echo, Bannockburn and Garrett Park at $680k. Kensington, King Farm and Fallsmead are good options.

Fallsmead and Rockshire are two different neighborhoods right next to each other.

If you look on the map everywhere between Falls Road, Darnestown Road, Wootton Parkway and 270 are basically that area.

Fallsmead is closer to Falls Road and Rockshire closer to Darnestown Road. I'm not sure if Hurley Ave is the dividing point but I think that's close to the boundary for Fallsmead Elementary School.

There are some other developments in there too. Like Carter Hill and some areas with no HOA. But Rockshire and Fallsmead is what's often mentioned.

Another for Kensington!

Thanks everyone. Cant wait to check out all these places!

Our kids have lemonade stands, neighborhood is always out and about walking dogs, strollers, etc. Its been so easy to make friends and meet people. Im wondering if you all can give me suggeestions as to which neighborhoods/areas may have a similar feel? We are transfering my husbands job to downtown DC and targeting Mongtgomery County,MD for relocation. Budget is $680k max. We have two kids prechool age. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

You just described King Farm neighborhood in Rockville.

Maybe the Fallsmead neighborhood?

Hey PO- Are Fallsmead and Rockshire in the same community or same neighborhood? Someone mentioned Rockshire to my husband and when I looked it up I couldnt tell if that is considered the same neighborhood as Fallsmead. Im googling all the suggestions now to get an idea of where they are all located Thanks!

Woops not PO, meant PP

Oops, missed the budget. Slim pickings in that price range, though there are a few townhouses and condos in Cabin John.
