[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,

I'm moving to the DC area this summer from the Northeast and would love to know which areas might be the best fit, within out budget, for my family.

[u]Some background:  
[/u]
I'm a single parent.  I'm in the education non-profit sector and make around $80k per year.  I have one son who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  The absolute maximum house I can afford is $515k.  We're also Jewish so an area with some Judaism, cultural more so than religious, would be appreciated.

I'm not overly familiar with the DC area, escaping NE due to an abusive EX.  I'll have full custody.

Schools are definitely a top priority for me and my son.  We'll be going the public route.

[u]I'd ideally like the following in a school and neighborhood:  
[/u]
Friendly and social neighborhood (kids playing outside while adults socialize and watch, people help each other out in a bind, etc.)

Not to be the only Jewish family in the school and neighborhood

Racial, ethnic, and linguistic is a plus.

A decent commute to Bethesda (ideally under 25 minutes)

Other parents who are well educated (professors, scientists, teachers, lawyers, etc.)

A high FARMS or ESOL rate doesn't scare me but I don't want my son to be the only student who is white / Jewish.

Can anyone help point me in the right neighborhood or school?  Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome! [/quote]
