[quote=Anonymous]With a 3 month old and staying at home in a new area, my biggest concern would be my husband having the shortest commute possible.   If working in Georgetown, is your husband driving or taking public transportation?  If driving, I would not choose to live in VA (especially not anywhere near Tysons, what a horrible commute!), he would have to drive over one of the bridges and traffic can be really tough.  I would instead choose to live in upper NWDC in a family-friendly neighborhood like Spring Valley, Palisades, Tenleytown, or Cleveland Park, all of which have a relatively short drive to Georgetown.  Tenleytown/Cleveland Park/Van Ness all are on metro stops a short ride to downtown DC as well and have parks/libraries close by.  If taking the metro, I would confirm what is your closest metro and base my neighborhood on that -- if Foggy Bottom is the closest metro (blue line), then I would look to VA and not DC.  If you haven't already, I would go to a bookstore and get an old-fashioned map of DC so you get a feel for where all of the neighborhoods are in relation to Georgetown/downtown.  Keep in mind that most neighborhoods are defined by the closest metro stop.[/quote]
