[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Personally, I'd feel stranded in Brookland, but YMMV. [/quote] What does YMMV mean? "Stranded" in Brookland sounds very strange to me given that everyone else here has been talking about Fairfax and other boring suburbs that, to me, are definitely way out there and pretty scary to someone who likes a more urban environment. Brookland is on the red line and an easy drive to downtown DC. That said, if you can work out the schools option, I'd also be inclined to consider both Mount Rainier and Hyattsville in MD as "up and coming" and also areas that you can get a fixer upper and do substantial renovations and still have money left. The housing stock is beautiful there, you can get a large interesting home with a yard, there is a thriving arts scene and a great food co-op, plus I hear that many families are starting to send their kids to the local schools so they can only improve.[/quote]
