[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Thank you everyone. Can't wait to dig in. I've made a spreadsheet with comments so I can remember! Seems like housing stock is pretty scarce in recommended neighborhoods from earlier comments so what we may do is tour the elementary schools recommended whilst we AirBnB, then potentially rent in the elementary school zone we love we wait for a house to pop up. What I'm hearing from this thread though is that there are lots of good options.

RE: Cap. Hill- YES! I LOVE this neighborhood, and frankly if I didn't have four kids (one of whom will be 5 and the other 7 when we move) I probably would settle here and even suck up the commute. From what I've seen, sounds like Takoma Park, MD would be wonderful, too. But, we will loved areas often :) We are a family that gets out and about and we rarely are home. [/quote]

I think that's the best plan.  Renting is a good idea anyway, so that you get to know the neighborhood before you buy.  But in upper NW, there are many good schools to choose from.  We are zoned for Murch and live near the Van Ness metro, and find it very walkable and convenient for everyday living--grocery stores, pharmacy, dry cleaning, parks and playgrounds, Metro, etc.  Plus we are close to Politics and Prose  (best bookstore in the city), a great wine store, and a fantastic bakery, so we feel like we're in good shape!  But there are nice walkable areas in pretty much all the upper NW school zones, so you should be able to find something that works for you.  [/quote]
