[quote=Anonymous]You're getting great advice here OP, and you sound like you have a tough choice to make.

I know people who live on Capital Hill and are raising happy, healthy, active kids without fear.  It can be done.  I also know families who can make it work in Montgomery County (Maryland) which does have fantastic schools and support networks.

In fact, I rent my former house out to a family right now and if they were leaving anytime soon I'd happily offer it to you.  It's 3 BR, 2 BA, small but with a beautiful little yard in a safe, quiet, neighborhood on the border of Kensington and Silver Spring.  I get $1,850/mth for it.

So you can find rental housing at levels you can afford, and there are plenty of friendly helpful people around here, especially if you have kids.

But we'd all be jealous of some of the things you have right now and I think it would be a tough call for you.

If you can maintain an "escape clause" option that gives you the peace of mind of going home if need be I'd say give DC a shot.  It will only get harder to relocate your kids as they get older.  Maybe you can give them the best of both worlds.

Good luck!
