We are trying to relocate to the SOWAL area. I am seeking advice and opinions of neighborhoods that would be best for someone seeking primary residence. We need 2500-3600 sq ft between 700-900K. I also have 2 small children that need pools and amenities. Any advice? Thanks!

They can find you a neighborhood, a real estate agent, and a house, too, not to mention a whole bunch of new best friends. One-stop shopping right here.
 
But do you really want to be in a rental area if it's your primary residence? No offense, Bobby, but I think I would tire of this.

I think bdarg and jdarg made the perfect choice from what I've seen. I'm not speaking for them because that is not my prerogative. But it appears to me that they have the best of both worlds -- living in a residential area, but close enough to the beach to enjoy it all.

BR I totally agree..we live and love the Pt Washington area, slow, peaceful, friendly neighborhoods, but no ammenties except the bay, fishing, watching nature of all kinds on a daily basis from dolphins to Blue Herons in your back yard.:wub:

You have a lot of options for that price range right now. Get a good tour of the area and find out what fits your needs and go from there. I like Point Washington. You could be on the water on a large lot only minutes to the beaches. The great part is when the beaches get busy you are far enough away to not even notice. Just take the boat right out your back door! Good luck! Lots of good agents on the boards.:biggrin:
 
I think Gulf Place would be an excellent choice. It's a gated community with no short term rentals and located directly across from the beach. I see a 3,100 sqft home that could be had in the $800,000's. Let me know if you would like to see pictures of the home.

That would be a great location, especially because of the commercial area there. It's nice to be able to walk or bike to the concerts, Miss Lucille's, and the restaurants at that corner.
 
We actually are getting ready to put our home on the market. We are in Point Washington in a bayfront community. We even have our own dock. Tons of kids in the neighborhood. You can let your kids go outside to play and you know they are safe (all the parents know all the kids) which makes it nice. It is nice because it is all primary residences (no vacationers - especially since kids will be playing outside and you don't know who is renting the house next door), so it is very safe in our neighborhood. An acre lot with 2 year old home with a carriage house. Everything two years old. We built ourselves. We will give you a deal. Let me know if you are interested.
