[quote=Anonymous][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]

yes we can do a 2br condo with a bonus area or townhouse. 4k max per month rent. We're leaving the baby with family for the weekend and are going to try and see as many areas as possible. We had just hired a nanny and gotten settled into the house here so we've got a lot to do before feb![/quote]
