[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheverly, MD, it's about 15-20 minutes without traffic.  Not sure about with traffic, but probably doable. [/quote]

I was just going to recommend this!! I live and work on Capitol Hill and I love it (kids in public schools and doing great-- including Washington Latin for middle school) but if I had to move off Capitol Hill, this is where I would go.  Very suburban enclave (private community swim and tennis club, nice backyards, etc.) yet so crazy close to the city.  Not sure about the public schools-- my friends that live in Cheverly use the private school there.   Kids can walk to school.  House prices are way cheaper than in the city, so private school is affordable.[/quote]

Horrible schools.[/quote]

Actually cheverly has a pretty highly ranked montessori school.  [/quote]

Oh, if you're going to do the private school thing (and there's a parochial school on the Hill, too, that's not so expensive), I'd also look at Hillcrest. It's a very easy drive to Capitol Hill and you'd pass Capitol Hill Day on the way.

Although the Anne Arundel Co. suggestion's not bad and you wouldn't have to go as far as Annapolis. I think these two would be about 30 min normal driving time, add perhaps 15 min in rush hour and are zoned for a good highschool.

Those two locations are a 45 minute drive to capitol hill.  Any traffic issues, it's easily an hour.  Very rarely can you get from Gambrills/Crofton/Davidsonville to Capitol Hill in under a half hour -- RARELY.
