[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC can have a very suburban feeling. Most people in your bracket are not happy with DC schools. If you are set on public school Bethesda Mclean or private in DC. The lottery drives many parents crazy. Some international transplants are not happy that the central urban areas are very expensive/ walkable/ fun but the schools aren’t great. Some of the schools are but it takes luck. I personally didn’t want to rely on luck for my kids. Best to you. DC is a great place to live ! [/quote]

Thanks! Yes, we did the lottery last year in anticipation of the move and I'm glad I did, even for the "practice". I wouldn't rely on it as a strategy for getting into a choice school. We are trying to research the areas that could potentially tick two boxes....walkability/city and good schools. Will be tough to find given the RE market, but I'm reading that the market is predicted to be less frenzied in 2022....let's see. Hoping we don't have to live in temp housing with our belongings in storage too long.[/quote]
