[quote=Anonymous]Lotta craziness in this thread. OP, I saw your message that you are moving here for work and you & your husband want to raise your kids (future kids?) in the suburbs. There are lots of great places to raise kids in the DC suburbs. And unlike the west coast suburb I grew up in, there are so many amazing things to do in DC which is super easy to get to on the weekends. To help figure out which suburb you might want to live in, what is it you love about NYC the most? Walkability to places? Great restaurants? I will say one thing that DC suburbs have over many other suburbs (maybe not NYC suburbs) is that the people here tend to be interesting and there's a lot of foreigners. So for all the grief about how the suburbs are so lily-white, in my kids' Northern Virginia classrooms, about a third of their classes are non-white, and there is a lot of diversity within that third. Many are from other countries and their parents are here working at the World Bank, embassies, etc.[/quote]
