[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved back to DC when our son was 3 and we wanted to be somewhere close in.  We considered capitol hill but were priced out of the immediate neighborhood around eastern market.  The houses we were left with were in surprisingly quiet neighborhoods.  As another poster said, there was a lot of stuff within 15-20 minutes walk or a short metro ride.  We would google satellite houses on the market and were surprised that the closest retail was 10 or more blocks away.  But we preferred stuff within a 5 minute walk.  From experience, we know that if things are 15-20 minutes walk away, we just won't go as much.  We ended up off 14th street and it's a very good fit for our family.  I can see how other people would be happier with quiet.  We preferred being in the busy mix of things.  [/quote]

interesting. where did you buy off of 14th street that was more affordable than the Hill and still had a good IB school?  Currently, I think the Hill would be more affordable than 14th st area, but not sure.  [/quote]
