[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 kids in DC privates, and DH works downtown. We aren't really house hunting but if we see something we like we'd be willing to make that move. We live in a part of Ward 3 that is relatively close to Virginia. Should we go ahead and make that move since McLean is a much better and safer place to raise our kids? No matter house nice and affluent it may be we're still in DC and it could change on a dime. Mclean will be a great town for the rest of our lifetimes and most of the affluent in this area live there. Do y'all agree? [/quote]

You sound just like everyone else in Georgetown and Palisades.   Yes, you absolutely must move to McLean.  But act fast, y'all, because everyone in Wesley Heights, Spring Valley and Forest Hills is planning to move there, too.

What's that supposed to mean?  If you can afford to live in such areas and send your kids to private schools, I don't see a reason to move across the river unless you are squatting around in a condo or a tiny rowhouse and would like to exchange this for the detached home with a yard, or if you are wealthy and you want to get that estate in the country setting or in the woods on several acres.[/quote]

Newsflash: places like McLean, Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, etc. are full of very wealthy people.  I think its hilarious that there are people who can't understand why a wealthy person would want to move out of Dc to those places.  There are a lot of people who want to live outside of the city. Granted if this is a real OP, she hasn't articulated any real reason (except a vague reference to safety which seems amorphous and odd), but living in the city is not the end-all-be-all desire for everyone.  Leaving the city does not mean trading-down or giving up on something.
