[quote=Anonymous]I am facing your dilemma, OP. Right now my 5-year old and I live in a neighborhood that has a lot going for it location-wise (and I have no hope of affording anyplace better in terms of a location for commuting) but its hard to find neighbors like us -- English speaking, with children, my age group, similar careers, interests, etc. There are some, but none within a few blocks of us. And its getting harder to feel like it should be home as time goes on. My son isn't making friends in Kindergarten, after having a wealth of friends in daycare, I'm not connecting with other parents, and I'm feeling increasingly isolated. We do have wonderful friends outside our neighborhood, but they are spread out across the DC region and honestly, I find it very hard to feel someone is a good friend when the idea of ever seeing them M-F is impossible. So, I'm looking to move. I'm ready to give up some convenience to hopefully gain a sense of being home not just in my house, but in my neighborhood. [/quote]
