[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks everyone for the replies- I'm taking a lot of notes. Quick note- I'm American :) Lived in Seattle and NYC for 30 years. Been to DC many, many times but just as a visitor; I wasn't paying attention at all to neighborhoods where I would be permanently living. Wish I had!

We would prefer to be in an area where the ES-MS (at least) are calm, happy and safe. Then, happy to look into other options for HS as that's a ways a way. I think it's wonderful that there are so many options for parents and children.

We would prefer to live in a house. It does not need to be large.

Commute is very important to me- definitely want to limit it so I can maximise time with my children. I need to determine how much time I'll be in the Georgetown office vs travelling to the other wards. Thank you for flagging that for me!

Don’t get caught up in the neighborhood boosters. Just save search on Redfin for Deal middle
School. You will happy in any neighborhood that feeds there. All have pros and cons. Good luck![/quote]

I'm one of the SP posters but agree with this advice.  Inventory is limited and there are often bidding wars, so it's good not to get stuck on one neighborhood.

The only particulars I'd have is trying for a WOTP home if most of the time at Gtown office, but consider Shepherd Park/Colonial Village if most time in Wards 4/5 and 7/8.  Good luck![/quote]
