[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for this night. A few questions for you.

Do folks go into the city much or does life happen in Bethesda?

What's the best route to commute to gallery place if you need to be there by 9am (but have some flexibility).  Most likely leave around 5.

Is it hard to get into that nursery school?

we'd be really reaching to live there budget wise. HHI is $320.  I wish that was enough money to feel like you're living well but it doesn't seem to go far in DC.  there are many huge houses in the neighborhood. I have to imagine they are millionaires lots of time over. Does it feel like normal people live there?[/quote]

I believe you can do it on that HHI but it will really depend on a lot of different things.  How big of a mortgage will you be taking on, how many kids do you have, do you spend a lot of money on luxuries and travel, etc.  plenty of people live here on less than what you make, but many bought into the neighborhood before housing prices shot up.  
The nursery school is not hard to get into.  I would call to find out the details.  I would also visit the school.  The director is a lovely person.

As far as commute, I would recommend a dry run of various different routes.  I commute to a different location and likely at a different time of day than you.  It makes a big a difference leaving at 6 in the morning than leaving at 8:30 in the morning.

We tend to stick with Bethesda when going out though that has diminished quite a bit since all of the new buildings in downtown Bethedsa.  Parking can be a pain the butt.  That is really a personal preference and plenty of people go into D.C.  We are right over the border.[/quote]
