[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are planning to have kids there are no good middle school options. If I had to do it over again I would pick NW or the suburbs. [/quote]

This. We've been on the Hill for 10 years but are soon moving to VA. While we've loved our time on the Hill, the middling elementary schools and no real middle/high school options did us in. When you factor in the large increase in nuisance crimes (as well as regular shootings - we are in Hill East), and total disregard from the city in regards to anything about quality of living, the city made the decision for us.[/quote]

I'd say this + price are my downsides (we live on the Hill and love it).

Our elementary school is excellent but we know that we will be doing private, hoping to luck out in the lottery (fat chance, I know), or moving in 5 years when we hit middle school.

For us, that's ok. We'll have spent over 10 years on the Hill giving our kid a lovely early childhood. After that, we will do something different. But likely a new family will move into our home and do the same thing.

So if you're looking for your forever-forever home, this may not be the place unless you're willing to be more flexible on education. [/quote]
