[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't moved from DC out, but where I used to live before moving to the DC area, the social life was centered around school families (has to do with the geography/traffic)

I have moved my to another school, right down the street, and wouldn't you know it, my social circle changed even though we had the same house.

It's not so bad, OP.  What's great about the situation is it creates a sieve where only your true friends stay with you.  Meanwhile you pick up another set of friends.

Now as a tangent, we live in N. Arlington and it's super-close, IMO, time-wise as long as not in peak traffic. And the metro is easy too.

Final thought for staying in your area…I don't know about real estate out here, so this may not work.  Where I'm from, at one time I considered buying two condos next to each other, and breaking down the interior wall (or part of the interior wall).  Then I could have had a large place, basically have everything but the yard.[/quote]

We wanted to do that with two small rowhomes in Georgetown--but good God-- the historic preservation wouldn't budge (which of course is one of the reasons I love Georgetown:)). [/quote]
