Silver Spring? Bethesda? (A little steep on pricing I believe) look at Montgomery county, really good schools and some of their towns are close to DC.

Silver spring public schools are an abomination (save for Blair). Either eat the housing cost and get into the Bethesda school system, or live in silver spring and spend the money you saved on private education

Silver spring is a common choice, decent schools, safe area, not insanely expensive
Rockville or Gaithersburg could be other options

Hyattsville. Bethesda is going to be way above your price range.

While not a ton of inventory but there are areas around Potomac, Rockville that could get you close to $600-650K some that might hit one of the 4 “W” schools - I forget which specific ones but they’re Churchill, Whitman, Wooton, Walter Johnson.
You would be about 30 min drive from DC in non-rush hour.
