[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

My DH may be moved from his DC position to one in NYC.  There would be a raise, but not much of one.

We (dd 12, ds' 10 and 4) live in a 1950's tract house in Fairfax City.  Not exactly the place you'd seek out to live your life in, but nice enough and the older kids can now bike to the library,

Old Town etc and are able to go to  AAP schools (which they love).

The commute is an hour in bad traffic- you can't get out of that.

I know nothing about NYC and its suburbs except that it seems super expensive.  I would say that we could only buy around 600,000.

If someone were to ask me, I'd say my comfort level leans more towards a crunchy sort of nieghborhood--but then again, I kind of like to steer clear of extremes on either side.  Our block holds GMU group homes, elderly residents, two same sex families, conservatives, hyper liberals etc.. the proverbial gamut.

In an either/or situation, we'd rather have more back yard than house.

Taking the train would be ideal.

Bearing in mind that my info is basic at best..does anyone have any ideas as to where we might want to look?
