[quote=Anonymous][quote=dmhoran]Hi everyone, I am a new user to this website (which is a great tool from what I have read so far!) and wanted to get some opinions for a potential move. My husband and 9 month old currently live in the Boston area and I am hoping to get a position in DC (Navy Yard area).  If it works out, we are really looking forward to our new adventure but are confused and concerned about where we would live.  The town we live in now is a picture perfect New England town that has community parks, fairs, barbeques, parades, etc.   .....  If the position is offered and we move, we are hoping to land in a community in the DC area with that similar sort of small town feel that we have now.  We are not familiar with the DC area (only have been there on vacations) so any advice will be appreciated.  We are open to looking in both Maryland and Virginia.  I would be willing to endure a longer commute into the city if it meant that we could get the small town feel.  Ideas on where to look?  Thanks to everyone  :)       [/quote

I enjoyed living in Boston and DC area (cap Hill, Alrington, Woodley park.  It sounds like you live in like Swampscott area or maybe Hingham. Maybe you'd like Annapolis and commute down, or Old Town Alexandria, or even Capitol Hill. There are a lot of great neighborhoods and communities here, though if you include "good public schools" you probably need to do more research. Maybe rent for a year.   I would also add that DC seems more diverse than Boston, especially if you exclude the student population. Climate is nice - same humid Augusts but really just Jan/Feb for a mild winter.

Have you moved or lived elsewhere before?
What are the chances that you are successful in your DC job application?  Is it a transfer of sorts?[/quote]
