[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting.com also listed Omaha as one of the best cities. Seriously. [/quote]

and my guess is that this is the OP's point.  DC has tons going for it in terms of culture, opportunities and so forth.  BUT, to your average suburban American reading Parenting magazine, for lower-end housing (read: condo or tiny townhome) in [b]a decent or good neighborhood to run at least $600K[/b], DC is not affordable which is supposedly one of the criteria that Parenting is using.  Who knows, maybe they use some sort of algorithm that weights the museums and history higher than the cost of living or hit or miss school quality.

People who would choose Omaha are different than the people who would choose DC.  And, remember, they do this sort of survey every year.  You can't list the same 20 cities year after year, so they have to get creative. [/quote]

You can get a 3BR/2.5BA 2500+ square foot townhouse in Columbia Heights for $600k.  That whole area is experiencing a middle-class baby boom, and is right near EL Haynes.[/quote]
