[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all these diverse opinions. We have moved around a lot in our time and are looking for a place that the kids will be good through high school.

One thing that has always stood out is that we've found/gravitated toward neighborhoods with nice, fun, cool people who do interesting things and are open minded and not too competitive with the whole parenting thing--I find that to be a turn off in D.C. We do our best with our kids and try to expose them to a lot but I dont think they are not as programmed or achievement oriented as their peers. I also want them to go to school with nice kids--not stuck up, cliquey rich kids--so that's important.

Politics: we have lived in the South so I am accustomed to being in a blue bubble in a red state.In fact, DH used to lean republican/independent, years ago, so can speak that language, but even before Trump he was disillusioned with the party and now is probably even more of a liberal than I am, but we have friends with a diversity of viewpoints (although if anyone currently supports Trump they are very quiet about it).

We do love the ability to go hiking and drive to the beach within a few hours, but I would also want to be driving distnace to the Smithsonian and the National Gallery.

So to sum up: yes, most people would live there., Henrico generally well liked (but for some its bland suburbs and stuck up kids??).

What about living downtown, like near the museum district? The schools do not appear to be strong on a 'great schools' rating, but that's not always accurate. We have one child who will probably do better in a small private, or a really good IEP program in public.

Now I just have to get the job :)
