[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, sahm in AU park, but not walkable? Easy access to stuff though? Super suburban? Or ok mix? We are ok with townhouse or single family. [/quote]

[b]Spring Valley/AU Park have a Starbucks, a Crate and Barrel, Le Pain Quotidien, Wagshalls Deli, a gas station and a CVS that you can walk to....

Wesley Heights is closer to the rest of DC and has a Starbucks, a couple of restuarants, a deli, and a few boutiques inside the shopping square.

Kalorama is gorgeous, amazing in the middle of urban DC (Dupont) with tree-lined streets and wow houses. Very walkable into Dupont.

Cleveland Park/Woodley Park- close to the private schools you're thinking about, a bit more urban/in the city than Wesley Heights or Spring Valley/AU PArk.

Georgetown - beautiful homes, very walkable, downside in my opinion is all of the visitors/traffic but it might be a great fit if hubby will work there

Glover Park - can walk into Georgetown, walkable with a While Foods, Safeway, Starbucks and a bunch of restaurants. Lots of young families. More affordable than the rest.

SAHM's - I think pretty equal amongst all of them.

How old are your kids?[/quote]

That might be an accurate description of Spring Valley, but not of much of AU Park. Depending on where you live in the latter, you also have walking access to Tenleytown and/or Friendship Heights. FH is better for shopping (although not for dining) than Bethesda. I live in AU Park, and can walk to both FH and TT in less than 15 minutes. Two Wholefoods in walking distance. I find this neighborhood to be the ideal middle ground between urban and suburban, and it is a really friendly community.

I SAH but my twins are infants, and I do hope to go back to work in a few years. I heard from a SAHM neighbor that at the kids activities in the neighborhood it's mostly her and the nannies, but I imagine it's going to be like that in most areas in DC.[/quote]
