[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why here?[/quote] we want to be near a city and not too far from NY so it's either DC or boston (we don't want philly) and we prefer dc[/quote] Why not a NY, CT, or NJ suburb? Many have excellent public schools. I live in Princeton, NJ and many NYC transplants have moved here since 2020. We also thought about moving to the DMV for work, but ultimately decided to stay and are happy. Love the schools, people, town, small class sizes for elementary, activities and no violence! There are multiple clean and cheap compared to DC town pools, swim teams, loads of athletics kids can easily get into, etc. I LOVE DC, but after speaking with friends in DC we are happy we stayed. As others said if you are looking for good public schools and are planning to stay after elementary do some research. I have close friends in DC proper including Palisades (that has issue with planes so I would nix), Mt. Pleasant, Capital Hill, and CCDC. Public schools in DC are a mixed bag and more of my friends are complaining/looking at privates/looking to move in the last couple years. Most were happy in elementary. Also, check out Woodly Park, but unless you want your child to attend immersion program, look at properties that go into Eaton. Go visit and check out different neighborhoods. Go to a playground, park, farmers market, something and talk to people and ask about the neighborhood. Do you know anyone who lives in the area? Ask them! Good luck. [/quote]
