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

LOL - what?

all that wood trim is to die for. just gorgeous!!

The neighborhood/location weeding out snobby, self-important pricks is just a bonus.

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.

Who says stuff like this? Seriously?

-family member works in admissions (Dean) at an Ivy. Have many friends who are Deans/work in in admissions at top universities/colleges.

People pay a premium to live in W school districts, so they feel the need to justify that choice. My three kids went to non-W public schools in MoCo, and all three got into top 10 colleges.

Mentally ill people who are on DCUM all day.

And meant to add…everyone I know sends their kids to the public schools through 8th grade. Most continue to hs but I can think of four kids over the years who have gone k-8 in public then to private for high school. All dual working parents in good white collar jobs. This idea that smart successful people don’t live in silver spring is ludicrous.

Many doctors who work at Holy Cross live there. Super convenient when you’re on call.

I live nearby this house, in a big older home that’s assessed for about 1.3. I can think of six lawyers who live on our block and two doctors.

And this house is beautiful.

Agree, and I live in a W school district and sent my kids to those schools.

I love this house.

It’s a beautiful home. I could make it amazing.
