[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here.....

Nevermind!   Wow.....I hope I do not get in a neighborhood with some of you negative nellies!

We have moved A LOT!  There is NOTHING we can do about it.  Honestly, my kids love the adventure.  All I wanted was some recommendations for communities that are close knit.  Just to have people to hang out with in the culdesac and get to know one another.  Thats all!

I know that it takes a while to form friendships....but my kids have a TON of friends in their extensive travels and changing of schools.  The DC area is quite large.....just wanted a little guidance.

Thanks to the few that actually gave me somewhere to look.  I appreciate it![/quote]

What you describe is more common in the outer burbs than close to the city. Closer in most families will have 2 working parents and kids will be in lots of activities (especially at those ages) so the neighborhood may not be the focus of their social energy. You will also find that closer in and in DC proper many kids go to private school (my neighborhood in Bethesda is about 50/50) so the kids will be more focused on school friends. [/quote]
