[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Most grateful for all the responses which are very helpful. We are currently based in a very high COL, very dense, very hot (weather wise) city in Asia. We would be moving with only one salary initially so are looking to get as much clarity as possible on budget. We have lived in other places before, but it will be the first time we move as a family, and the first time in the US. We need good elementary school but beyond that its a bit unclear as we are not sure if we will stay for than 3-4 years. Appreciate all the advice on cars and neighbourhood. Did not look much at Capitol Hill previously and will do so, although from looking at rental websites it seems quite a few of the nicer townhouses seem to be in the above 7k territory, so savings would not be that great? FYI we are used to this level of rent but less to the 'other' expenses. In particular the price of private schools was a shocker, the need for a large car is a new thing, etc.[/quote]
