Looking for a neighborhood with:
- an excellent public elementary school
- many young families
- a community with a dedicated social commitee / active civic association
- a neighborhood in which most families send their children to public school, at least for elementary
We would be grateful for any advice, good and bad.

Does a house like this work? It’s a 15 minute drive to DC and it’s on a quiet residential neighborhood road (with no through traffic). It’s in country club hills, if you want to join the country club that could provide some community involvement.

This person will dislike Takoma Park. Definitely does not match their vibes.

Somerset ES is a gem! Great energy, dedicated teachers, and strong ties with the community.
You can't move to Somerset with a budget of $1.5.
Yeah I was surprised at this too. A lot of the people in this thread haven’t looked at prices since covid started.

Bullshit. You mean to be snarky.
No, it’s being nice to them. Idk if they’re coming from Kansas City or some BFE place but 1.5M housing budget is not the tax bracket to get into the Bethesda country clubs… they won’t interact with those people
Thanks for my monthly reminder on how provincial this site can be - hilarious that you think a housing budget signifies someones overall NW / standing in society![]()
