[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're ready to put an offer in on a Dupont rowhome; trading off space to be near to everything and in-bounds for the school we want (2 adults 1 preschool aged kid).

The only thing that makes this a tough pill to swallow is seeing the giant, newly renovated homes in other neighborhoods (Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, etc) for the same or less. We tried to love Georgetown but preferred Dupont/Foggy Bottom/West End more.

At the end, we feel the tradeoff for being in the neighborhood we want/near everything makes up for the lack of space, but maybe it's a mistake - anyone been through this? 
I keep telling myself we're being picky - this house is well within 'normal' size; everyone lived in smaller homes and managed just fine, etc. etc.

Current owners are moving to the suburbs with 3 kids, meanwhile.

You could also got a five bedroom in the suburbs for the same money but do you actually want to live there?? Don’t compare yourself to others or do what you think you’re “supposed” to do. [/quote]
