[quote=Anonymous]It's doable, although it would be tight. There's "moderate income" housing very close to the Bethesda Metro, you have to be under 60% of the median income for the area which is around 64K for a family of 4. I'm sure they have a waiting list, but when you get to the top of the list it's $1309. Alternatively there are some 1BR + den you could make work if your kids were born after you moved in (I don't think they'd let you take 1 BR with 4 people). Living there you don't need a car, and you don't need daycare if one parent is at home. Or you could go over by Rock Creek Forest and pay about $1,500 for a 2BR, more annoying since you'd have to take a bus to the metro and things like grocery shopping become a pain. You likely wouldn't have health insurance for the adults, eat out, or other luxuries, but you could cover the basics. [/quote]
