Can you recommend this Silver Spring neighborhood?
"Can you recommend this Silver Spring neighborhood?" sounds like an innocent question and it's also a frequent one, especially if you are new to the Silver Spring area. I can't answer that question, however. Whether one likes a particular neighborhood or not is a very personal choice. What may be the right fit for some may not be the case for others. I cannot steer you to or away from a particular neighborhood, nor do I want to. But I can assist you in your decision making process by providing neighborhood sales statistics, showing you homes in different communities and pointing you to the right resources, ie. the police department for crime statistics and www.greatschools.org for school ratings. I also suggest driving through the area(s) of interest during different times of the day while paying attention to how well the community is maintained. I can research and show you homes in a particular area if you have narrowed it down to one but I cannot make that choice for you. Instead of relying upon a Realtor's®, neighbor's, friend's, colleague's ... recommendation let the following be your guides: price-range, preferred home-style, proximity to public transportation, schools, neighborhood amenities, proximity to shopping and ... more
