Twinbook is in the RM cluster. Lincoln Park and West End - nope.

10:49, you stink. Go back to Whitman.

That's kind of the point. RM has a large amount of economic diversity in the zone - there are large pockets that are more expensive than Wootton, but many very poor pockets. By contrast, Wootton is more consistently upper/middle class without being zoned to any areas as poor as Lincoln Park, etc. As for QO, it's very similar to RM... wealthy to Rachel Carson, but quite poor in places like Brown Station.

Still waiting for the trolls to quote any post asserting there were million dollar townhomes in King Farm.

West end also has some very pricey homes..lots of tear downs and older big homes. Stop by some time..enjoy Rockville Town center..if you feel safe in the 'inner city'. Big chuckle.

RM has kids from several new and upscale developments as well as other lovely older neighborhoods like College Gardens and Woodley Gardens.

That is a single family 4 bedroom 5 bath house that is still not 1 million. Still waiting for million dollar affluent town homes in King Farm.

If you don't count as "affluent" unless you can afford a million-dollar residence, then I'm a poor. Another day, another thing I learn about myself on DCUM.

By "W schools", I'm guessing you mean Watkins Mill, Wheaton, Whitman, and Wootton?

No. The W schools are Whitman, Wootton, (Winston) Churchill, (Walter) Johnson - I think. Is there another with this moniker?

No one is saying Rockville and Chevy Chase are equal..but to call it an inner city school is way off. My neighbors value the socioeconomic and ethnic diversity. Each to their own on that score.

Or, if that's not affluent enough for you, some parents at Bethesda ES or Burning Tree ES. Both schools are at 128% of capacity.

Richard Montgomery affluent??? LOL. It is like an inner city school with some middle class. No affuent kids there.

But clearly this poster does not get to the area much...even if there are not a huge number of million dollar ths.

There are (close to) $1M single family homes in King Farm, but no townhomes that high. Only Park Potomac would meet that criteria within the RM cluster.

King Farm is not in RM district. Park Potomac barely gets to 1mil and their owned by empty nesters or multi-family Asian families living together. Lets get back to real affluent areas.

The $1M level homes in King Farm (although I'd say $900k is more accurate) are in the southern half of the development, which is zoned as RM. Park Potomac brownstones usually range from $1.2-1.4M. The only exceptions are a couple very narrow ones in a few places (MDPU like square footage) that are high 900s. The single family homes in Fallsgrove range from 900-1.25M.

Ther are plenty of RM pockets - mainly in Ritchie Park - that are more expensive than Wootton zones like Dufief and (most of) Fallsmead.

Back to the original topic - yes 2.0 is influencing decisions. Math instruction in MCPS was never stellar but at least they let kids who could learn independently progress. Now they just hold back the math talented kids.

Check your facts before you post..Southern 1/2 of Kings Farm is RM. Northern 1/2 is Gaithersburg HS.

Ugh, Gaithersburg? that actually makes RM desirable. Can you post the 1 million dollar town homes listed in King Farm. I am shocked they go for that much
