Yes this is true. I just edited my original post. I should have clarified that she needs to work on Virginia for retirement reasons and yes the Bethesda job is a very rare position for me.
Hi all! We are going to be moving to the area in July/August from Hampton Roads VA area and need some advice on where to live that won't cause intense commuting stress for my wife and I. I will be working near the Bethesda Metro Station and she will likely be at Kenmore Middle School in Arlington, VA. We also have 1 small and 1 large-ish dog.
I am not from the area (originally from Boston so understand there will be traffic and such) but am trying to figure out a good location that will not be too strenuous or too long of a commute for me going to Bethesda. (I need to be in office 3 days a week and work from.home 2 days) Any recommendations on areas to live? Ideally a place with a backyard but will consider a really dog-friendly complex too. Ideally 3000-4200/mo
Thank you!!
EDIT:
** My wife needs to stay working In Virginia for retirement reasons. She is a doctoral level counselor and has been in the Virginia retirement system for quite a while and it would not be a sound idea to start all over. The Bethesda job is a once in a blue moon type of job so this is where we are... We did want to move to Northern Virginia at some point because the salaries are higher and her retirement is based on her top 5 years so we thought this was going to work out in the long run.
