[quote=Anonymous]We lived by Eastern Market on Capitol Hill and attended a charter although zoned for Brent. Loved living there, the walkability and family vibe with loads of kids.

Moved to Woodley Park, across from Rock Creek Park and feel like we are in a different city! Can walk to work, lots of amenities nearby and kids galore. If you like language immersion, Oyster is great and feeds to Wilson. (Goes Pk4-8th grade, so would give you a smaller middle school and continuity within the community.)

Cleveland Park is adjacent- kids go to Eaton which is also a great school. More families in homes than condos or apartments. Movie theater, library, zoo all within walking distance.

I work in recruitment for senior positions, have moved executives with small children and they have gravitated towards these two neighborhoods due to desire to have a walkable environment, short commute and good schools. (All of the kids in public schools, not private.) Various nationalities but include relocation from Hong Kong, Brussels, London and Johannesburg.

DC is a wonderful place to raise a family. Welcome![/quote]
