[quote=Anonymous]A condo community is likely to be more transient but for our Arlington neighborhood (22201) there was definitely less moving once kids started ES. In the preschool years, we had more friends who decided to move away from DC or to outer suburbs to buy a house or upgrade to a larger house. But those who stayed into ES seemed committed to staying put. Some switched houses, but stayed close. My 14 yr old DD has had the same BFFs since 2nd grade. 16 yr old DS is still good friends with kids he met in kindergarten. Most of our neighbors with kids have been on our street since they were little. My DH also sometimes -- usually when I was planning out summer camps -- wished they could have the free summers he did. But 1) their friends are all in camp so they'd have nobody to hang out with and 2) at other times he tells stories about all the trouble he got into during those unsupervised summers. [/quote]
