[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=lizziewhit]Wow... this is all so helpful! I feel like we have honed in on Georgetown b/c of its name familiarity. I like the suggestions of where we can get more bang for our buck. I will start looking around some of these other places. And I would like being near a metro (and had no idea Georgetown is not good for this). So again, thank you for your replies! [/quote]

If you want to be near metro, definitely do not buy in Georgetown.

Georgetown is not all its cracked up to be. Its too many college kids, tourists and old people. Not nearly as many young families as would like for your kids. CP is much better and must more accessible. Or live in bounds for Janney closer to Tenleytown metro.  Honestly I would take G'town off your list if you are looking for a super kid friendly location.  Cap Hill is great if you are in Brent Elem. But over half the students are gone after 4th grade because there is still not a strong middle option.[/quote]

Agree to take Georgetown off your list. It's "urban", but in a small town kind of way, with cute stores and without metro access. Also, the reason Hyde is a somewhat lower performing elementary school (compared to Upper NW options) is that most kids in Georgetown traditionally went private. Similar to Cleveland Park in that way, as a historically wealthy neighborhood, and different from areas in Upper NW (like AU Park) that are historically more middle class even if they are expensive today.[/quote]

She's from Texas, Applebees and BoConcepts is EXACTLY what she's looking for.[/quote]

But is she also looking for a 900 sq ft $1.5 million house?[/quote]
