[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd look at an apartment along Connecticut between Van Ness and Cleveland Park. Family friendly yet accessible to downtown via metro and bus lines, direct bus lines to WHC that get you there in less than 30 minutes, etc. Good daycare options nearby (eg. Communikids) and zoned for good schools. You'll be near libraries, parks, transportation, you g families and single people if you do decide to date.[/quote]

Agree to look on the H2/H4 bus routes, wmata.com so, in bounds for Janney and Murch. I don't think Eaton will be as convenient if you want to take a bus to work. If you are driving won't matter as much. If you need an au pair, I'd try to rent a small house. There are not as many 3 br apartments.

I think you are going to need 2 childcare options, one for daytime shifts for before preK 4 and one for "off hours." Many do use au pairs to get that flexibility, ask WHC if they have any other options. I'd start west of the park and in bounds for a school that will be a good fit for elementary and beyond if you stay. Moving is disruptive, expensive and you will have connected with kids & families, start as you mean to go on. East of the park is not going to get you so many benefits that it would outweigh a subsequent move.

You can't rely on other families to be regular childcare. Solve that piece and that will decide how many bedrooms you need and go from there. [/quote]
