[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, OP, I'm curious what neighborhoods you settled to look in and if they were at all congruent with the suggestions here?[/quote]

hi OP here - wow- thanks for all of the responses! I actually found out that I did get the job today so yes we're now in full swing making this all happen for Feb 1. My husband and I are going to try and come down next weekend before xmas and take a look at south arlington/alexandria and the hill. If we have to go private school in a few years then so be it - we'll definitely rent to start and make sure we find the right area. Agreed that Silver Spring area would be perfect but I think the commute would be a bit much.

If anyone has any other opinions please let me know - are there any areas in NW that would work? [/quote]

Agree that Cap Hill is probably your best bet given your priorities.

I wouldn't rule out Georgetown, renting somewhere in east Georgetown where you could walk to Dupont or Foggy Bottom metros, or easy to bus or drive over to Arlington & Union Station. It may not meet your 10% criteria, but it's got lots of international diversity.

I'm assuming right now you just need a 2BR apartment? Not a whole 3BR+ house?

What about Logan Circle/U Street/Shaw?? I'm surprised no one has mentioned those. Again, hard to buy an updated house for 900k near Logan/U Street but you should be fine renting a 2BR condo and then buying when you know the city better. [/quote]
