Moving to DC. Kids will be in K and PK-3 in the Fall -where to begin?

Except if they are moving and using a H-A address with a K sibling, the K sibling will pull the PK3 kid to the front of the list. So the length of the WL isn't as important as whether there will be any movement.

It would be a great commute and it's a great neighborhood to raise a kid, plus if you need a nanny share until your younger child gets it, it will be easy to arrange. Also get yourself on the waiting list for Appletree Capitol Hill. Ludlow-Taylor would be great, and J.O. Wilson is also worth considering.

In addition to looking on Craigslist for rentals, you should look at John C. Formant and Yarmouth Management, which are local management companies. Renting a house would definitely be in your price range.

If you are excited to get back to the city and like the Philadelphia vibe, Capitol Hill is going to be much more your speed than Glover Park or other upper NW areas. But Capitol Hill will be more family-friendly (and a *much* better commute) than Columbia Heights.

I don’t live in either, but I’m why you think CH is more city like than GP?

NP here. For starters, CH is walkable and transit accessible. GP is tucked away from everything, for better or for worse. But I hate CH. I’d live in bounds for Seaton if I were OP.

I LOVE CH! To each their own, OP. Maybe take a few day visits around the city...every neighborhood has its own vibe.
