[quote=Anonymous]Hello-- thank you all in advance for the help!

My family is considering a move to the DC Metro area from Northern California.  We live on the Peninsula which we really like.  We're looking at Montgomery County (Potomac, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington) and Northern Virginia (Arlington, McLean).  We'd rather live in a neighborhoody area instead of a place with very large homes far from each other where small children can comfortably walk to school or a playground.  But most important for us are great schools and we do plan to send our 4 and 2 year old children to public school.  In a perfect world we'd be able to walk to a restaurant or coffee place without piling the kids in the car.  Taxes are lower in Virginia than Maryland and so that's a plus, though we know more about the reputation of Montgomery County schools than Arlington's.  Can you all help give us a steer?  I will be working near Chinatown but only commuting 1-2x per week.  Will the car commute be that much worse from the Virginia side?  Housing budget is under $2 million.[/quote]
