[quote=Anonymous]Taxes really vary per person and per city but are not a huge factor in general, especially since you are not paying property taxes.  For example, Montgomery county, md taxes are higher but schools are generally good while city of Alexandria, va taxes are higher too but middle and high schools are bad.

School quality vs commute vs affordability tend to be the big  factors in this area.  I posted friendship heights because it's on the metro red line (very convenient), has great schools,  and has large, family friendly apartment buildings.  Newer buildings in the city have very small apartments (2 bedrooms under 1000sf!).

Another place to look with large family style apartments is cathedral/Woolley park/mass Ave heights in NW DC if you are willing to drive/bus-it's a very quick commute.  D.C. Taxes are comparable to Montgomery county.

Your budget is a bit low, if you can increase to 2400 you will find a lot more nice places and even some single family homes in good school districts like Bethesda.

One other area I can think of with big apartments, good schools, and good commute is the grovesnor area of Rockville.

Good luck.
