[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start with picking an area, then a school. Seriously. Each town is vastly different here. Do you want to do the urban chic DC living walk everywhere and hope to get kids into a charter for kindergarten or do pricey private thing with lots of other transplants, or would you prefer to live close in in a town that has all your amenities, restaurants, shopping, etc within town or 2 miles with better schools, or would your prefer to move outside the beltway for more square feet? What's your budget for housing? [/quote] So we narrowed it down to Montgomery County. With our housing budget I don't believe we can afford DC proper. The third option you listed (living in a nearby town with good amenities and good schools) would best suit us.[/quote] If you want good schools it's hit or miss in Montgomery County more so than Fairfax county. Fairfax County is much nicer overall. But I'm not saying there aren't towns with good schools, just much fewer. Generally speaking, points west of rockvilke pike are better, and around olney.
