[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I believe the school you reference in Rockville is our local elementary, and we really like it there. However, my spouse and I are on a tight budget with $150k HHI in this area (main expenses are childcare for 2 and mortgage). You'd be hard pressed to find a home feeding into our school for less than $350k or rental less than 2k/month and those would be in pretty rough shape. It's a nice neighborhood though, with decent green space for the area - though commutes downtown aren't great. I'd be pretty torn if I were you. I'm also in the natural resource field and the jobs are definitely here, but there's definitely a big trade off in lifestyle. I've made my peace with it for various reasons, but the alternate life I almost lived in a small western city still haunts me a bit. Good luck![/quote]
