[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from Capitol Hill to upper NW last year and now that we’ve moved, I can’t believe we waited so long.[b] We liked the Hill for all the reasons you mention, OP,[/b] plus the proximity to everything and the super easy commute, and it took us a couple of years after we’d outgrown our house to finally move. Now our kids can play outside in our yard, we’re a short walk to school, an awesome park, a grocery store, a few restaurants, our kids are actually in school (which would not have been true at our old school on the Hill), and in our neighborhood we see a sight that we never saw on the Hill - teenagers! While the Hill is teeming with babies and young kids, teens were like unicorns. Now they’re everywhere. We’ve had to get used to driving more, but that is a small price to pay for a big improvement in our kids’ lives in terms of school and everything else.  Wilson may not be perfect, but our kids are young and a lot may change by the time they get to HS. But the view ahead to HS here seems much rosier than on the Hill. [/quote]

OP never mentioned why she liked Capitol Hill other than she is “city folk” and “museums” on a subsequent post.

She derided places for being cookie cutter even though they were more urban the Nw neighborhoods she is considering.

We are just asking to actually specify what she is looking for besides “city cool” and “good high schools” and not deride other places she seems to know nothing about. [/quote]
