[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm an accountant, so a job shouldn't be an issue. Not looking to make tons of money, just live a comfortable life. We live in the affordable part of Vienna in an old small home. Our neighborhood is amazing and that will be the hardest part to duplicate. Tons of kids, nice down to earth parents, schools and metro are walkable. I would love to find a neighborhood like that with good public schools. I gave a friend who recommended Glen Mills, which looks to have good schools. Anyone know that neighborhood?  I really don't like DC as a city. It doesn't look like a city (when you've grown up outside NYC), and I hate politics. We love the outdoors, so also looking for good hiking and biking which should be just as good if not better in PA.  Also happier that we would be closer to the ocean for weekend trips. Thanks for all of the neighborhood suggestions. As for price range, I'm not sure. Im guessing our HHI when we move will be about $125k and we will be down to one child in daycare. I need to run some numbers, but I think of like to keep the house under $400K. Thanks again for the advice![/quote]

I grew up in West Chester, not far from Glen Mills.  It's a nice area.  I don't know the school system for Glen Mills that well, is it Garnet Valley?  I think that is supposed to be good.  Commuting into Center City from there would be a haul, though.  I'm the PP who suggested Lower Merion or T-E school districts.  I think those would be easier commutes into Center City.  Media was also a good suggestion.  [/quote]
