[quote=Anonymous]OP, you and your enthusiasm sound fun and you'll have a great time in the DC area. I concur with the other posters on focusing on commute and schools and not taxes - I've lived in MD, VA and the District and it really is pretty much a wash - higher income taxes in MD and DC but higher property taxes, including that damn car tax, in VA. You do get what you pay for, though - good options for schools, nice parks, etc.

Although, I admit the new Federal tax cut does hit this area pretty hard - getting rid of the SALT deduction is why so many people's taxes are staying the same or increasing. But getting rid of AMT is a help and will matter to you guys.

On neighborhoods, you might look at Rockville, MD zoned for Richard Montgomery HS. It has a long established and very good IB program and the area around Rockville metro station has been developed into an urban center type thing with cafes, restaurants and a really fun county library around a walkable plaza. And you still have some suburban conveniences.[/quote]
