[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NWDC is friendly and a great place to raise kids, especially if you want them to have a sense of confidence in navigating cities as they grow into adolescence. A great mix of interesting people. I love living here. Good luck with your move![/quote]

Stressful, cut throat, superficial, competitive, sneaky, petty too when it comes to kids. The schools in NW can be pressure cookers. Works for some kids but if you have kid who are not top students they will feel behind.[/quote]

Not our experience at all.

DC is very open to transplants, but there are a lot of people who think they are super-important, or too busy to make friends, or really competitive, etc.  But it's not everyone!  There are lots of nice people who are friendly, especially if your kids are in school together.  Like anywhere else, you have to sift through to find your people.  Lots of kid-friendly stuff to do, tons of museums and international stuff with the embassies, etc.

People with kids live in apartments, condos, rowhouses, and SFHs.  Our apartment building is full of families with kids who go to school with ours, along with the people in the expensive houses.  [/quote]
