[quote=Anonymous]Have you been to DC yet and driven around? Looked at neighborhoods to determine if they feel right for you? Have you considered a temporary rental for a few months in order to take the time to find the right area for you? You said you honed in on Georgetown because of name familiarity which leads me to believe you haven't spent much time here. DC has a lot of great neighborhoods in different parts of the city that aren't well known. Also, commute is a huge factor around here...a terrible commute (even if actual distance is small) can really effect quality of life. Personally, I live in AU Park. My best friend calls it "suburbia in the city" and she's right. But I like it because I have a nice house with a yard. I can walk to Tenleytown or Friendship Heights. My kid goes to good schools and we run into other families we know all the time. Most days it's fairly easy to drive/metro/bus to downtown. My H has a somewhat easy commute into VA for his job. Street parking is easy. With your budget you could find a nice home in this neighborhood.[/quote]
