[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone- I am more depressed now than when I wrote the original post, but I guess I can't create a neighborhood that doesn't exist![/quote]

Hey, OP, don't be too depressed. You just need to finish going through the stages of grief, familiar to all of us buying real estate in this area, which will eventually end with acceptance of the limitations. I'm a pp who talked about compromise. Your baby really will be fine in a 1-bedroom for a while, so you have time to explore your options. Visit a bunch of houses in your price range. Find out what school districts they're in, and read up on (or ask about) those schools. Figure out what sort of a commute you would have from different neighborhoods.

One way to do it is to explore 6 examples in your price range: 2 in DC, 2 MD suburb, 2 VA suburb, focusing on some of the places that people have suggested to you. What would each one give you in terms of specific school, commute, neighborhood feel, house amenities? I think that having a concrete set of more tangible alternatives will help you narrow down your search to a neighborhood/school district that you are most interested in. And then you can keep your eyes open for the house with the least frustrating compromises for you.
