[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

We are moving from Cambridge to the DC area for a work opportunity.  I am looking for recommendations for DC neighborhood or nearby cities or towns. I would prefer not to be in Virginia but Maryland could be fine.

Budget: We can go up to 4 million for the perfect home. If we have to make a lot of concessions I’d rather go no higher than 3 if possible.

Preferences: Walkable neighborhood with sidewalks, family friendly, kid friendly, easy access to the train (ideally this means walking distance but could also be driving distance with parking). This is not a requirement but I also prefer established neighborhoods with mature trees.

I’d love to live in a place with a strong neighborhood association, and neighborhood events.

We will most likely do private schools regardless but a community with good schools is preferred.

I’d also really like easy access to restaurants and shops, and walkable proximity to a playground. I’m partial to neighborhoods with dead-ends or small parks that tend to accommodate kids riding bikes, neighbors being outside, etc.

Also, I understand that the higher income areas tend to lack racial diversity which is fine, but we are a mixed race family so I would prefer to not be somewhere people would call the police or post messages to next door over seeing a Black person jogging in the neighborhood.
