[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a 900K budget, you should definitely be able to find a nice house or rowhouse east of rock creek park. It may take a few months of looking though so you should prepare for at least a short term rental. Since schools are not an issue for this move, that opens your field considerably. West of the park will be extremely tricky for that budget - very little inventory to begin with in all price ranges, and almost non-existent in the 900k and below range (some do get listed for below that but then often get bid up for way more). With 2 big dogs, I'd try to find a house with a bit of yard if I were you. It's possible in Takoma, Brightwood or Brookland (brookland's got a lot of boosters tho I find that neighborhood really meh myself). Lots of other areas if you're ok with rowhouse. Get an agent and pre-approval letter ASAP. [/quote]

OP is coming from an midwest college town. his wife doesn't really want to move to DC.

do you *really* think they (more likely she) will like living east of the park???? it's a lot nicer than it used to be, but we are talking quantum shift here.[/quote]

I dunno. I moved to DC from a college town (western, not midwestern) straight into upper NW. I felt very out of place until we moved to the Hill, which I love and feels like home.[/quote]
