We currently live and work in dc, and I never thought the suburbs would be appealing to me. I love so much about dc. That said, I crave an easier pace with more space. I’d love to look out a window into trees. I’d love to play in a backyard instead of pack up for the park every once in a while. City living is just feeling hard lately with kids.
What are some suburbs/neighborhoods that have a sweet downtown or strip of stores (e.g. not downtown silver spring), that feel green, neighborly and community oriented? |
