[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of families with small children near Van Ness metro but they tend to go private once they hit elementary.  I believe there are good elementary schools in the area but make sure you research it carefully.

The Cleveland park/DC area is closer to the greener parts of NYC (assuming you were living in NYC proper or Brooklyn).  If you leave the district, there are tons of walkable areas but you will need to live near a metro.  [/quote]

Not true about kids near Van Ness, at least north of the metro station, which feeds Murch and Deal. Most kids in that neighborhood go to Murch, and many/most stay on to Deal. It is true that people in the Hearst neighborhood (south of Yuma, I believe?) are more likely to go private.

I think Cleveland Park is also a great choice--Eaton is a very nice school--although $900K is probably not realistic there.

Also want to reinforce what others are saying about Virginia. It's true that Arlington and Alexandria are progressive enclaves, but Virginia is still unremittingly conservative at the state level, and Arlington and Alexandria are not exempt from the retrograde policy decisions--about LGBT issues, immigration, health care, women's health, voting rights, etc.--made in Richmond.

Yes - I agree.  I was referring to Hearst.[/quote]
