[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm just going to put this out there and I'm sure I'll be flamed, but I can't figure out another way to get a feel for this. We're a mixed race immigrant family with two kids, have been living EOTP in the District but now it's time to move for middle school. All the people we know who live outside DC live in Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Kensington, a few in the Rockville area. Every time I do kid activities in MoCo I run into friends. It's definitely more our vibe BUT the commute sucks from there and would be way better for us from NoVa. Inner Arlington seems expensive for the space and the schools don't seem as good as Fairfax. So we're thinking-gasp-McLean or Falls Church, the more walkable parts (I know those are pretty few and far between). I have heard some neighborhoods are friendly but I'm afraid that everyone will be a moneyed Republican lobbyist and I won't fit in. I know I probably have inaccurate stereotypes, but are there down to earth, crunchy, immigrant, mixed race, LGBTQ families out there? TIA.. I tried to ask my real estate agent these questions and couldn't really get answers. I think she thinks I'm crazy. [/quote] Why are you so closed minded? We are a heterosexual, white, American couple that welcomes immigrants and couples of all types. [/quote] +1. Signed, Immigrant who had a similar reaction reading OP's note. OP, in your shoes I wouldn't move to a place where I didn't know anyone I trusted and could discuss this directly with. Think again...are you sure you don't know anyone who's done something similar?[/quote]
