[quote=Anonymous]Look at it this way.

1. Parking is not as pricey as NYC.  $10-$20, instead of $40-80 like Manhattan.
2. Metro stations (usually!) have shops/cafes/grocery within walking distance or a short drive.
3. Traffic in DC and surrounding areas are just as bad as NYC, in my opinion.
4. Not all Metro stations have parking, so keep that in mind if you want to drive to Metro.
5. For enjoying the Mall and the museums/events around the area, Metro is hard to beat.
6. I can't think of any place that's double stroller friendly.  Maybe airport?  You're probably better off with a in-line stroller where the seats are place in front of the other instead of side by side.  YMMV.

Personally, I don't think Metro location would be worth it for you (from what you wrote), but it does add value to a home and will add to your selling point.  Also depends on how long you plan to live around here.

Tip - look into parks and especially public libraries within walking distance.  I don't know about NYC, but local libraries are well kept and great place to visit with young kids.[/quote]
