[quote=Anonymous]If I were you I would move to Petworth and live close to the school. In theory you could rent an entire rowhouse on your budget, or if it's more your thing, you could be in a 2BR at one of the brand new apartment buildings right above or next to the Petworth metro.

I live in Petworth and it's incredibly family friendly and affordable. If you live near the metro it's very walkable (and you could live near the metro on your budget). I'm not sure why you would choose to live elsewhere when you could could have such easy access to the school. If you've been researching on the internet keep in mind that the neighborhood is gentrifying incredibly quickly. There was an article a couple years ago in the Washington Post comparing Petworth to Dupont Circle - the analysis found that Petworth had the same level of violent crime as Dupont Circle, and far less property crime than Dupont Circle. The low level of property crime is amazing as I've had to deal with car break-ins everywhere I've lived but here (I've been in Petworth 9 years).[/quote]
