Severna Park w/ Kids?? (daycare, neighborhoods, middle school)

[MamaVanTwee]

Hello everyone!!

I have asked a couple of SP related questions here before, but wanted to narrow things down a bit. Can you help shed some light on things for me. We have narrowed down to SP as being one of our options, but need help from those in the know (ie those who live there now, or have lived before, or visit regularly)...Which neighborhoods would you say are the MOST kid-friendly. By this I mean not only have playgrounds etc, but also have lots of young families living in them; have kids who play around the 'hood (*smile*), and generally have a good community feel. We have driven around a bit, and liked Round Bay...any others that have alot of kids and families out and about on a gorgeous day, such as today?

THank you again:-)

I live in the community next to Round Bay. It also has a lot of kids. It is smaller and a lot cheaper than Round Bay and the kids would still go to Jones Elementary. My kids go to Oak Hill Elementary (because their daycare feeds into that school- or else they would go to Jones.) All the kids from Oak Hill Elementary live in Chartridge. It is across the street from Severna Park Middle School. My kids want to live there since they go to Oak Hill because it is crawling with kids. They also have a community pool. It is a nice neighborhood.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Is your community called Chartridge then, or something else? Also, what is Linstead on the Severn like for kids? And Round Bay itself? I SO appreciate your input:-)
