[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all so much!  Please keep the ideas coming!

Here's some additional info for those who asked:

*  prefer SFH instead of townhome
*  prefer "suburban" to "urban" feel, though it would be nice to have some places to eat and amenities in walking distance
*  really would like yard/outdoor space
*  closest Metro stop will be Farragut West
*  pools, parks, tennis opportunities all very important to us--private club OK if not too pricey
*  will probably choose private schools initially, but would like to be in good public school area in case we stay long-term

Tenleytown, AU Park, or CCDC.  There is a Franklin Montesorri but have no idea if it is good. Aidan is further south in Woodley Park. These neighborhoods are on the redline and your DH's commute will be great.

For more suburban but still walkable, look into Takoma Park (md or dc) or close in Silver Spring. You can get a great house easily there for under 4K. There are a few montesorri schools around these towns, and I have a feeling that they might be warmer.  But, you'll need a car to commute to them. Not sure, but I think Aidan might be a "cold".  These schools have been extensively discussed in the Schools forums.  Both towns are on the red line and your DH's commute will be about 45 minutes or so.  [/quote]
