[quote=Anonymous]My recommendation for the sanest approach:

1. Determine where your physical offices for work will be, since that will ultimately determine your commute.

2. Determine where you want to live. In households with two professionals, in the DC area it's fairly common for the two jobs to be nowhere near one another, necessitating some kind of compromise on commute.

3. Determine where you're going to send your child to school. To maximize sanity, the school should be along the home-to-work route for the parent who will be doing dropoff/pickup.

Note that many commute times are asymmetric. The morning commute is often much faster than the evening commute. That should definitely be kept in mind as you look at aftercare options and whether or not the aftercare hours will extend long enough for a parent to get there after their workday, given the likelihood of terrible traffic. (Also think about how much spare room you have before the end of hours, for those days when the traffic is unusually bad, which will probably happen at least once a month.)[/quote]
