[quote=bainbridge1]Hi, I had posted over a year ago and this forum was invaluable so I am back to ask for your help.  We are relocating from Bed Stuy (Brooklyn) to the DC area and need to make it happen before the school year starts.  I'm kind of in panic mode because I haven't figured out what area to focus on and we are running out of time.  Due to COVID, I have the ability to work from home so I don't have to worry about a commute.  We would prefer to live in Virginia as that is where my family lives but we are open to DC/MD if the right fit.  Initially, it was most important that we moved to a diverse neighborhood as we are a biracial family (I am Black and my husband is White/Jewish). However, my kids have been through the ringer not being in school for over a year and lacking friends.  So honestly, I would prioritize a neighborhood where kids actually go outside and interact with each other.  That is #1 for us right now.  Our second priority are the schools.  We did private school in Brooklyn but we really need a good public school that works well with kids with IEPs.  Our third priority is diversity.  Being African American, I don't want to be the only one on the block.  However, I will also be happy with diversity in any form.  We are looking to rent the first year and then will consider buying.  I'd like to stay around $5k for rent but would be willing to go over for the right neighborhood.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks![/quote]
