[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is moving to the area and has elementary-school aged kids.  We like Capitol Hill, but the big downside seems to be that it's a commute from many of the top private schools in the city.  Do families commute to NW for school?  [/quote]

Your plan doesn't make any sense unless both of you work in the Hill.[/quote]

Real estate market is driving some hard choices these days. Not everyone can pony up the 2M for a 4 bedroom in a good school district. There are still better deals on the Hill compared to NW. [/quote]

Let's not exaggerate. You can get a perfectly fine 4bd in NW, with access to great public elementary + middle school, for less than $1.2m. Not much more than in CH, especially when you take into account private school tuition for X years for Y kids.[/quote]

That has not been my experience. I have not found the houses under a million to be suitable, and the ones that do work are closer to 1.7 M and up. what neighborhoods and types of houses are you suggesting?

You can get double the house for 900k on the hill, although generally speaking that is in the more borderline areas. tons of families are moving to the hill from NW starter houses and condos. [/quote]
