[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you moved from DC to Annapolis, can you share your experience? Especially if you moved with young kids? We are thinking of doing this (both will still work in DC, will have to commute in 2x a week). I'm wondering if it was hard to make new friends. What are some neighborhoods to look into for families with young children?[/quote] We ended up moving to Ellicott City but almost pulled the trigger on Annapolis and have friends there. Hope some of this is helpful to you: -It is a very family-friendly area, though the schools are generally not great so a lot use the great privates around Annapolis. -Wardour is a terrific neighborhood where you can still bike down and, contrary to my last statement, has a WONDERFUL elementary school. -Commute from Annapolis is much better than from the burbs on the NW side of the state. Yay! -You should have no trouble making friends and there are a fair amount of folks who move to Annapolis from DC. That said, you'll be in "real" Maryland, and that is a different mindset from DC. Because you'll be in Annapolis, will be around plenty of political-types, though most will have MD-focused careers. It is also a very relaxed town, which I love, but worlds away from -Super easy to get There is a lot of hysteria about commutes on this board, mostly by people that I think have rarely actually done them. I have (perhaps an unfortunate amount of) experience with a bunch of the commutes in DC coming from Maryland, and I think Annapolis strikes a good balance between being reasonable and also having its own great culture, restaurants, etc. Good luck with the decision!
