[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent part of my childhood in westchester and still have friends there raising their kids in the same town we grew up in. I personally hated it and from what I’ve seen, it hasn’t changed.

Now I live in DC and I generally agree with those who say to avoid places like chevy chase DC, Bethesda, Potomac. I also think if you’re coming from westchester the Virginia vibe won’t be something you’ll like.

Honestly, it sounds more like DC could give you most of what you want, but not all of it. For public schools, Stoddert, Eaton and Hearst could give you some of what you’re looking for in terms of diversity (at least in the schools)- those neighborhoods would be [b]Glover Park, Cleveland Park, North Cleveland Park. [/b]Generally I find those neighborhoods in NW to be the least pretentious.

As others have mentioned, Takoma Park and Silver Spring might be worth a look. Thanks [/quote]

Ignoring the head-scratching, detached-from-reality fact that you're talking up Glover Park, Cleveland Park or North Cleveland Park as bastions of non-pretentiousness -- I'll give you Glover Park, maybe, but the latter two: no, just no -- OP said their limit is $1.2 million and they want a yard. That more or less rules out all three neighborhoods because of price or small lot sizes or both.
