[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, AU Park the others mentioned are not exactly urban places. Consider whether this will really mean a lifestyle improvement.[/quote]

I tend to agree.  There are communities in DC that are more suburban than urban.  They may be desirable to some (AU Park, Chevy Chase DC, Takoma) but they're in the middle of nowhere and you would be stuck with DCPS, as opposed to more reliable public schools where you are now.  By moving to some of these DC communities, you may find that you've jumped from the pan into the fire. [/quote]

Chevy Chase, DC is "in the middle of nowhere"?  Gee. Where do you live? [/quote]

We live in CC DC and our "Walk Score" is 83 (very walkable). There are parts of CCDC that are far less walkable than ours (we live a block away from Connecticut), and there are parts of AUP that are less walkable than areas near Wisconsin. However, it's not accurate to say that these neighborhoods are suburban (IMO: suburban = few sidewalks, garage in the front of the house, need to drive to get to the supermarket, etc.)[/quote]
