[quote=Anonymous]2-3 generations ago families with 4+ kids were living in 2-bed apartments in Chicago. Part of my family is from Chicago and they grew up there in the 60s/70s. 5 kids in a 2-bed. Bunk beds were in the dining room for the boys and the girls had the second bedroom. When you live in the city you “live in the city” not so much in your home. So many people posting on this board are not familiar with what it’s like to raise families in a real city because so much of DC-proper is more suburban than compared to New York/Chicago. Go for it OP. Your kids are young and now is a great time to take advantage of this move. And you can’t put a price on being closer to your grandparents. I think renting your current place (at least for a few years is ideal). And taking the savings and investing will pay off so much in the future for you. [/quote]
