We're in a very suburban-feeling part of NYC right now. There are lots of trees, parks, etc., but you can still hail a cab or get on the subway a few blocks away. My guess is we'd pick a suburban feel over urban... as long as that didn't mean we'd feel like we were in the middle of nowhere or couldn't go out to eat.

One of us will be working in DC on 17th and K, so commute will be important, too.[/quote]

That commute is really easy from Silver Spring--just shoot down 16th in either a bus or your car or metro depending on what's the most convenient from your actual house.

With your budget, you could easily afford a house that puts you within walking distance of downtown Silver Spring or Takoma Park, both pretty progressive, diverse communities, with lots of parks and trees in the mix as well.  It's as close as you can get to DC without being in it--and thus you avoid the problems of DC Public Schools.

We just moved to a bit more suburban Silver Spring, and we love it.  It's relaxed, yet with tons of amenities.[/quote]
