[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP! We have moved a bit. I immigrated to the USA from an Asian country. I would not move to a suburb. But we love DC. We have friends in the Bay Area. A few that are caught in the rat race, and some who know how to stay rooted and focus on what's important. One moved out of the city to the East Coast and find life much calmer. All anecdotal, of course. I'd say living in DC has been wonderful for us. There are plenty of quiet(ish) streets and the restaurants-art-culture things are never far. We are here due to work, but I am sure there are a lot of other smaller towns cities that can give you the best of both worlds if money is not an issue. You need to think what's more important to you - access to museums/theaters etc, walkability to restaurants & cafes, public vs private school, what kind of weather do you guys like, racial diversity, economic diversity, access to nature, is a big yard enough or do you want a farm, would you want to drive, bike or walk as your daily commute.
