House Hunting...

We are in the process of looking for a new house. Right now I am just researching the neighborhoods. We want to move to St. Mary's county, but I don't want to end up in the wrong neighborhood.

Here are the ones that I am trying to get more information on.

Essex South - Is that the one down by Gate 3, not Cedar Cove, but one of the smaller ones.

Bay Ridge

Westbury

If anyone knows about these places please give me some feedback. If we are going to spend in the upper 200's on a house, I want to make sure it is a in a good area.

Essex South is off Great Mills Road, I believe, and from what I've heard it is NOT a good neighborhood.

bay ridge is really nice. a friend of mine lives there and loves it.
westbury isn't too bad. i have a few friends who have lived there and they seemed to like it but they said that it got loud at night.

I would look for something in Piney Point, Drayden, or Leonardtown. You DON'T want to live in Lexington Park. Move to Ridge.

Westbury, It depends on which one. Westbury 1 is mainly townhouses and can get loud, westbury 2 is single family homes and quiet (they are in the process of adding 60 more with over 150 on the waiting list). Lots of families with young kids. Has its own pool which isn't bad.

Prices are going up, quick. The bigger ones are going for nearly 300 now. Probably one of the best neighborhoods in the park.

my friends lived in the townhouses and they complained about the noise alot but they had no other complaints that i knew of. the houses on the other side of the road look nice.

And a 1/2 mile down the street are the projects.
