[quote=Anonymous]I work downtown DC and need a quick commute b/c I do all the pick ups and drop offs.  I'm getting a lot of conflicting advice and leads that really end up being wild goose chases to find nice apartment (meaning, clean, w/d, dishwasher, parking) in the low $2K range in a good school elementary district (which I take to mean, safe, friendly, has a good arts program and plenty of playtime to balance out the academics).

Is the commute to silver spring do-able?  Looks like it'd be a half hour or more, each way regardless if I drive or take metro, which is a long time to spend commuting given that I am balancing job and kids pick ups.  I was going to drive at least for the first year b/c at the moment both kids are in nursery school near my work, but DC1 will be starting public next fall so then maybe I could metro with DC2.

What is the school district for downtown by the metro station - I saw that the vermillion at 1133 East West has some specials if I move in now, which could be nice, if this is at all feasible!!

Feasible?  Or another wild goose chase?[/quote]
