[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of places in the area where you can just move in and the public schools will be good/excellent all the way through.  Many of those places are also really expensive.

I don't know your housing budget, but if I had your wish list plus $1 million to buy a house, I'd look at the neighborhood around BCC High School.  Very solid school pyramid, but more walkable/urban and racially and culturally diverse than the other schools in the area.

I'm sure other folks will weigh in with Virginia suggestions.  If you wanted to live in DC proper and again wanted guaranteed solid schools through HS, I'd look in AU Park or Upper NW.  You lose a ton of racial and particularly socioeconomic diversity at the elementary school level, though.  Oh, and it's also about $1 million to buy.

I don't have that kind of money, personally, but shared your desire for walkability and friendly neighbors and also wanted an easy commute by Metro into the city, so chose downtown Silver Spring.  [/quote]
