[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is quite broad but we are thinking of relocating from NYC and thus don't have any family or friends (or work!) in the area we need to be near. Dh will commute to NYC and work 2 days from office there, once a week (stay in hotel overnight). Budget is $6-$8k per month. Could be city or burb. Number one priority: would love really good schools for DCs (who are 8 and 10), and some historic element/ oldness to the area. And a yard! Ideally house not apartment. Any tips so so so welcome and ty! [/quote]

Ehhh… if those are really your priorities you’re looking in the wrong place. most people live in DMV because their jobs require them to, not as the natural result of wanting good schools, space, and “oldness” which I assume is your way of saying you don’t want suburban sprawl but a charming neighborhood/house.

And your husband is onboard with this? Cause if those are really your priorities you can do a lot better than DC and not make him suffer a horrible and unnecessary commute.

Is there some other reason it has to be DC? How much time have you spent here and in which neighborhoods? Tell us more about why you like it here and what it can offer your family that’s worth the commute hassles to your husband?[/quote]
