[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even [b]McLean or Chevy Chase, the two most expensive suburbs in the DC area[/b], are going to be a lot more relaxed than NW or NYC.  City living is just way more competitive overall, at least for families with kids.  If you live in NW you’ll be spending half your time angling for privates or explaining why you went ahead and sent your kid to Jackson-Reed or SWW.  In the nicer suburbs, you have more space and privacy, people will assume you belong if you can live, and no one really cares whether you send your kids to good publics or good privates.

I get that the aesthetics of the DC suburbs aren’t on par with a lot of older suburbs in other areas, but the houses are still nice and the convenience is just as great if not greater, plus you’re not paying the exorbitant taxes that you might be paying in, say, a Larchmont or Scarsdale.  [/quote]

City of Alexandria would be like moving from Manhattan to Bushwick. [/quote]
