[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, don't move to NoVa if you plan to send your kids to a private in NW DC.

Stay where you are. See where they get into schools. Move if you don't like living in Dupont and driving to the private.

Tho if money were no object, I would move to Cleveland Park or Woodley.[/quote]

I think the Arlington reference was due to one parent working in NoVA. Because of that, I would suggest staying where you are (as another PP did) until you sort out PK for your oldest (1-2 years, you can move the spring/summer after they get in). The gov lawyer will also have a better sense of what is happening with their job and/or may have changed jobs at that point. You’ll also have a better sense of how many kids you’ll have and your space needs. Two working parents and three kids is the upper limit of what most people can handle. With four young kids and two working parents you may end up needing a live in nanny, especially if you’re living in NW and one parent is going to NoVA every day and the other parent is working in BigLaw. If you want the flexibility to have a live in nanny you’ll probably be looking for a house with somewhat separate quarters for them (third floor bedroom or basement bedroom or apartment over the garage set up) and you will want to know something like that going into your search.

I think that's where the Arlington reference came from too.  My vote is to stay put for now.  However, Arlington (Lyon Village/Lyon Park, as mentioned upthread) is a fine choice if the kids end up in school in Georgetown.[/quote]
