[quote=Anonymous]Boston suburban resident here (who lived in DC a while too) - check out South Boston (lots of young professionals who moved here after college now staying here post kids - you'd want private school), Cambridge (we bought an investment condo there - $450k 2 bed, parking 1100 sq ft - public schools good), Arlington (you can do public through at least elementary - upper schools getting better but my understanding still a work in progress), Somerville close in to Cambridge (real estate cheaper but prop tax higher and you'd need private school) and Watertown (you'd need private schools).   Brookline and Newton are great but v expensive and "posh".  If you prefer a house over condo you might also check out Waltham close to Moody st where there is shopping/restaurants.  It's farther out but has (at least to me) a similar vibe to where you are moving from.  I would also recommend renting for a year before you but to get a feel for the different neighborhoods.  What I like about the area is that even the suburbs have nice town centers so more of a community / urban flair than most of the DC suburbs offer.   [/quote]
