[quote=Anonymous]As far as urban vs. suburban, it's a personal preference.  It's been my experience that it's easier to meet people in urban areas.  Moms and kids tend to congregate at the park vs. play in their backyards, you get to know your neighbors when your houses are closer together, etc.  It's something to consider if you're new to town.

As fas as Tysons vs. Penn Quarter, I'd choose Penn Quarter but I don't think Penn Quarter it's ideal.  Penn Quarter wouldn't be on my short (or even long) list of places I'd want to move unless I was younger and single w/o kids.  However, I wouldn't want to commute from Tysons to Georgetown, plus Tysons has no character whatsoever and it's so far from everything except Tysons Corner mall.  Frankly, as a SAHM, I don't think you'll meet many other moms in either Tysons or Penn Quarter and I would seriously consider broadening my search.  I would look at the neighborhoods along the red line in NW DC.  Your husband will have a shorter commute, you'll be near lots of parks and will be more likely to meet other SAHM.  You can pretty much find any type of housing, from condo to SFH, along the red line.

I do not recommend Capitol Hill- it's an awful commute to Georgetown b/c it's straight through the city.  And some areas are really dicey as far as crime goes.
