[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is your educational consultant. What areas are you looking in OP, and how old are your kids? [/quote]

I actually believe this may be true :)

I’m looking for a metro accessible area with affordable rent ($2500-3000 for a 2 br) or cheap condo/small house. I really dislike the suburbs/driving so hopefully something more walkable. My kid is very bright and quirky so I’d love to be in a neighborhood where kids are similar. Currently have to commute to L’Enfant Plaza only 1 day/week.

So far I have zeroed in on:

- TP/Blair. There are some affordable condos on Maple/Lee and a few house rentals. But I’d have to convince my STBX that those schools are good enough
- Silver Creek/BCC. There’s a little pocket of garden level condos (Rock Creek Gardens) walkable to Silver Spring metro.
- Sligo/Einstein. Lots of rentals at my budget in Silver Spring. STBX thinks Einstein is “bad.”
- Deal/Wilson. Apartment or cheaper condo along Conn Ave. I like the idea of staying in DC and feel like we’d fit in best here. 
- Hardy/Foxhall High. Apartment or cheap condo in Glover Park or Wesley Heights. I love parks and trees so this is actually my personal favorite option
- Westland/BCC. I would rent near the metro but I think this area is more expensive. Also Bethesda just scares me, seems unappealing as a place to live and full of rich people? Please tell me I’m being a reverse snob. 
- Tilden/WJ. Near White Flint metro. Housing more affordable but scares me to move so far from city. But I think this may be a good school choice. 
- Virginia. No. I see Confederate ghosts and lots of traffic there.

Is ex supportive of the Deal/Wilson option? If so, Sligo/Einstein and TP/Blair are going to be similar. I would not consider Wilson to be a better school than Einstein or Blair, I think they are pretty similar. What type of extracurriculars is your kid into? This might sway people's advice.[/quote]
