[quote=avocado_gtt][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Why live in the DMV area if you WFH and travel oos 1x/month? Do you have family in the area to help when you travel?

If you provide a house budget, that would also help.[/quote]

I don't have much family in the US but have one cousin that lives in NoVa. She wouldn't be a source of childcare but it would be wonderful to be close to her and maybe see each other every few weeks. I have a solid childcare system for when I travel, though.

The DMV area just seems to check all boxes for me. I want to live near a major city, diversity is very important to me, as is living in a progressive area. I want great public education for my children, and access to a variety of activities and not just the neighborhood park. I am a single parent of small kids but am still very much interested in having a social life so I don't want to be isolated in a suburb that is super far from activities I enjoy. I also want to be close to nature and access to hikes, etc. Nova just seems to check all those boxes.

In terms of house budget - initially I'd be renting for the first 1-2 years. Budget would be 5k for a 3 bedroom. And then as far as housing, I'd love to stay under 1 million for a single family house, or townhome would also do.

Do you have any particular areas, or schools that I should check out?[/quote]
