[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t pick Columbia Heights. Too much crime and loitering in many parts, and the schools are no good.
It’s not that convenient for your commute either.
[b]In your place I would rent in Upper NW. Janney, Oyster, Eaton, Hearst are all pretty convenient to the red line.[/b]
No PK3, so you could try to lottery into one of the charters, though getting a spot seems unlikely at this stage. Or else do a nanny share, or try to find a daycare for a year - many of them have spots for three year olds once kids leave for PK3.
But with a kid already enrolled your second would have a very good chance of getting in to PK4, we know several families who’ve had that happen.[/quote]

I agree with the bolded. Either Upper NW WOTP in boundary for Deal & Wilson or in boundary for Shepherd Elementary/Deal/Wilson in Upper NW EOTP to be near the Silver Spring or Takoma metro stations on the red line. You could probably squeeze into a SFH that needs work in Shepherd Park for $750. Not sure what that budget would get you WOTP. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could weigh in on that.[/quote]
