[quote=Anonymous]Are you looking for an urban experience or a suburban experience?

If you are looking for urban - which can be a fun change of pace DC proper with an area that feeds into Wilson High School [either Deal or Hardy Middle School].

A few areas that might be a little outside of your budget - but something to consider are Glover Park and AU Park / Tenley town.   Glover Park has Hardy Middle School right in the neighborhood - everyone walks to it.   There is easy access to some places to play hoops at Jeleff rec center and the Stoddert Rec Center.    There are a lot of international families - and the neighborhood does skew younger but something for you to consider.   It will be very easy for your kids to explore the city.

For AU Park, similar that all the kids walk to the local middle school and high school.   There are no culdesac's - but people hang out on their front porches, have gatherings and block parties.    Here is an example of a property (a little outside of your price point)   I know the block and a bunch of kids around your kids ages:

December will be hard as in general people are more in doors than out.   You can cross your fingers and hope for a good snow - as every goes out to shovel and it is another way to meet :)[/quote]
