[quote=Anonymous]Our family is relocating to DC from NYC. We have two DCs (8 DDand 5 DS) and are looking at private schools...same sex and coed. But the more immediate question is "Where should we live"? Which neighborhoods in the district have school age families and a good representation of SAHMs? We currently live in Manhattan. I know DC is very different and we won't be able to find exact neighborhoods. But i am hoping for an area with school age kids, some SAHMs, ideally walkable but not "too" urban or "too" suburban if that makes sense. I don't want to being an area too dense or too removed from things either. Although we don't want a "suburban" feeling, but is it worth exploring pars of MD and NoVa? If so, what areas? Is anyplace walkable? Have little "town" areas to stroll in? I'm a novice to the area. DH will work near Georgetown so he obviously plans on driving due to lack of metro. Any advice would be really appreciated. Also, what are the differences between nova and MD? And how different are they from the district? People I've met from each say they would never live in any of the others but I can't get a handle on "why". Thanks in advance so much for any insights.[/quote]
