[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a troll post?

Does a real city person not know about ANY other options than Wilson HS vs moving to *McLean*?!?!?

Read up on charters or just move to your people in Virginia.[/quote]

Yep, Bethesda and Rosslyn/Clarendon are probably almost as city as Capital Hill, maybe more so unless you consider ‘city’ == ‘crime’

Rosslyn/Clarendon and Bethesda are definitely more city than freaking Tenleytown!

Are you 25 OP?  Most people outgrow their “city-mouse, country-mouse” obsession.

And OMG, Sidwell?? ROFL. literally.

So it sounds like $80k for private school is a stretch you need to avoid, don’t want to gamble on charters, and want... whatever ‘city’ means. Walkable to metro? Walkable to grocery store and library? Walkable to parks?  Property crime?  What are you looking for?

It’s not a city mouse country mouse issue, it’s that we like Capitol Hill and moving to a cookie-cutter neighborhood just sounds very unappealing. Our kids can go to the museums, or they could before Covid. I won’t get into the details but it comes down to Capitol Hill is a wonderful neighborhood. However if we had to say stay in DC, which we’d like to, Moving up to North West sounds pretty good. Yes metro accessibility and walk ability are huge primary considerations we don’t wanna have to commute 15 miles each way or staying an hour of traffic or anything like that. I think you’re right with the charter school ideas.[/quote]

I can't even with you.  You understand the commute from, like Rosslyn, crazy fast to Capitol Hill, whether by metro or car.

Why are you schlepping for lesser quality schools (and APS does have issues, but Yorktown/WL still seems to perform better than Wilson) just to claim you live in the "city" @ Tenleytown?

You aren't finding "cooking-cutter" houses until you get to the greenfield development in the exurbs.

Oh, and guess what, rowhouses are the DEFINITION of cookie cutters, they are literally all the same except for color.  So old cookies, makes them stale? (And I love DC rowhouses, BTW, just OP is ridiculous on multiple levels).

This.  Wardman literally copied and pasted the exact same house all over this town and people love it.[/quote]
