[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The area OP moved to isn't any more or less "suburban" than many areas within Washington itself.

I'm scratching my head here. Perhaps she meant moving from an apartment or rowhouse in Dupont or Mount Pleasant to a SFH on a quiet street? In that case you're really talking about a specific type of neighborhood vibe rather than city versus suburb. [/quote]

Op here- you might be right. I used to live in Logan/DuPont  and now in MD. To the other poster, about one mile to FH so a walk score more of 50 or so. I know not terrible but for me very different. I'm not complaining. I know how lucky I am. I'm just having a hard time with transition, not sure if I made the right choice, and looking for tips on helping me welcome this new life. [/quote]

If you're a mile to FH, you really went whole hog on the suburban thing, didn't you?  That puts you well into Chevy Chase or Bethesda, in some of the most expensive close-in suburbs of DC.  Not to be an ass, but what did you expect?  If you move someplace where the average home price is well north of a million dollars, in Chevy Chase, it's going to be quiet and suburban.  That's why people are paying a ton of money to live there.  It also takes a lot of billable hours to afford to live there, so you aren't going to have the kind of "hanging out on a Friday afternoon on the porch" that you would in the city.
