[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, sahm in AU park, but not walkable? Easy access to stuff though? Super suburban? Or ok mix? We are ok with townhouse or single family. [/quote]

Spring Valley/AU Park have a Starbucks, a Crate and Barrel, Le Pain Quotidien, Wagshalls Deli, a gas station and a CVS that you can walk to....

Wesley Heights is closer to the rest of DC and has a Starbucks, a couple of restuarants, a deli, and a few boutiques inside the shopping square.

Kalorama is gorgeous, amazing in the middle of urban DC (Dupont) with tree-lined streets and wow houses. Very walkable into Dupont.

Cleveland Park/Woodley Park- close to the private schools you're thinking about, a bit more urban/in the city than Wesley Heights or Spring Valley/AU PArk.

Georgetown - beautiful homes, very walkable, downside in my opinion is all of the visitors/traffic but it might be a great fit if hubby will work there

Glover Park - can walk into Georgetown, walkable with a While Foods, Safeway, Starbucks and a bunch of restaurants. Lots of young families. More affordable than the rest.

SAHM's - I think pretty equal amongst all of them.

How old are your kids?[/quote]

Just for clarification to the OP - AU Park is pretty big. It has a side that is close to Spring Valley/Mass. Ave. that is not quite as walkable or accessible to metro. But the side close to Wisconsin Avenue is very walkable and more urban. From many points in AU Park you can walk easily to both Tenley and Friendship Heights metro stations and the commercial strip on Wisconsin Ave. So, when you're searching don't write off the entirety of AU Park as not being walkable. You need to look at how close to Wisconsin versus Massachusetts.

For purposes of commuting to Georgetown, you can't beat Glover Park (other than living in Georgetown proper, of course). The main con to Glover Park is that (like Georgetown) it's not metro accessible.[/quote]
