gaithersburg, MD...anyone know anything about it?
not that i want to move out of NY to go to MD, but i am just curious about the area. it's an option for me to transfer if i wanted to.
again, not that i want to, but if it is a wonderful place to be it's worth thinking about.
TIA (i'd still rather live in Tampa)
Re: gaithersburg, MD...anyone know anything about it?
not ballin' = dealbreaker
the houses are very inexpensive, and that often makes me nervous. you can buy my apartment for what you can buy a 3br/2bath townhouse out there.
i like to weigh my options. DH may not be interested in ever hearing about it. sucks to be him.
I practically grew up there. All the DC suburbs run together so you never really know where Rockville ends and Gaithersburg begins. It's a typical suburb, I guess. Pretty soulless, with lots of strip malls and nicely manicured housing developments built in the 80s and 90s.
If you're a die hard city person, you'll hate it. But it's close enough to DC that you could theoretically live in the city and reverse commute, which would take you maybe a half hour to 45 minutes (which is typical commute for the area)
Crap...I Mean Crafts
Only a New Yorker (or a San Franciscan) would consider DC area prices inexpensive. The outer suburbs did get hit pretty hard when the housing bubble burst, though. You'll spend a lot more for the same house in Silver Spring or Bethesda.

In all honesty, H and I would jump at the chance to move. But we're both from there, and we both hate where we are now.
The nice thing about Gaithersburg is that even if you don't like it there, there are enough other cities, towns, villiages, and places with a stoplight and a post office within easy driving distance that you'll easily find someplace you love.

like in this special room i've dug for you in the apt building basement.
Sorry I'm late to this thread, I was out with the crazies in Bethesda.
So Gaithersburg... depends where, do you have any idea what part of Gaithersburg? Any kind of landmark or street name would be helpful.
Or you can e-mail me amassunu at gmail.com or find me through ilove on FB to discuss further and/or in detail.
I live in Germantown so am in or through Gaithersburg all.the.time.
DED @ North Potomac. Potomac is a very uppity and expensive area, "North Potomac" is what Rockville (aka Wanna-Be Potomac) came up with to sound more ritzy.*YAWN*
Some parts of Silver Spring are comparable to Gaithersburg (the good and the bad fwiw) but it's all the 'burbs no matter how you look at it.
