[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be a lot more concerned about schools than OP seems to be. She's seems more worried about other quality of life issues, but based upon my (limited) observations, the main reason why most families leave the less expensive, but vibrant up and coming neighborhoods is because the school prospects are so limited, especially once the kids hit 3rd grade or so (a lot of privates open up spaces in 4th grade). You could chance it on a lottery with a charter, but many of us don't feel comfortable doing so.[/quote]

OP can indeed afford neighborhoods zoned for DC's better schools... but she might need to settle for a condo like an actual urban parent.

It just seems like between the unstated but obvious insistence that she wants a house just like she can afford in the 'burbs, and the squeamishness about "safety" which indicates an almost comically limited comfort zone, OP might be best of where she is.

OP, urban living requires flexibility more than it requires almost any other quality.[/quote]
