[quote=Anonymous]I'd look near Union Station--check out JO Wilson and Ludlow-Taylor. If you enroll your K I bet your PK will get in, and if not there are some federal childcares nearby that often have open 3 year old spots. I would also look at apartments in-bounds for Thomson, School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens, and Seaton, where you will have decent commutes and a good shot of your younger child getting off the waitlist once your older is enrolled.

I would not worry too much about middle school; once you know the DC area better you will likely move anyway (possibly out of DC to Maryland or Virginia) and it's worth getting to know different neighborhoods. Raising kids on Capitol Hill is nice. Upper NW is nice. Brookland is nice. Takoma is nice. But they are all different from each other--where you'll grocery shop, swim, meet your neighbors, do Boy Scouts or dance class, go to church--whatever you like to do. At this point, I'd try to get both kids into the same decent school and have reasonable commutes. Your kids are so small that having them together and being close to them will make it easier for you to get to know your new city![/quote]
