[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will visit Maury, Brent, Ludlow, (and Watkins? But not Wilson? I really liked what I read here about Wilson) West and Shepard. I think? Maybe Ross, but don't know if we can afford Ross's neighborhood and still get something we'd want to live in. I assume also it's like New York--once you're IB, you can move OOB? So... we could move IB for a year and then change locations and keep the school?[/quote]

One warning-- the Ross boundaries are pretty tiny so be sure you look closely at any address you might be considering.  Great school though and fun neighborhood.

And it depends on the school as to whether they kick you out if you move OOB.  It is not a guarantee.

I have not read the entire thread and I'm sure many people told you to avoid upper NW, but honestly if you are considering West and Shepard I'm not sure why you wouldn't throw Hearst into the mix.  There are more things (grocery stores, restaurants, shops, etc.) walkable in North Cleveland Park than there are in Shepard Park, plus you get easy metro access.  And Hearst will not make you leave if  you more OOB.  Might be worth it just for a year to get into a great school and get your DC bearings, then move to a neighborhood you like better.

I am a city girl and used to live in Adams Morgan and now am in North Cleveland Park.  Sure I'd love to be a bit closer to the action, but it is so awesome to have my kids walk to school that it's worth it to me to live here.  When I want to go someplace cooler I hop on the metro or the crosstown buses and I am there in no time.

Capitol Hill is also great, I just have a strange aversion to row houses so I've never lived down there.  But it has a lot of great things to offer.[/quote]
